Another Magach 6B Gal Batash

 This is my Magach 6B Gal Batash, built for our IDF build competition. It is the Academy kit with some additions. 

The stowage is from the kit, Black Dog, & Dioart. The coaxial machine gun is built from some kit and some Legend parts with EZ Line for the control cables. Non-slip surfaces are made from embossing powder. (Last photo shows this on turret before painting.) Cable supports on basket are made from Evergreen L-channel. The antenna is a length of fiber optic line. The tactical insignia panels are made from aluminum foil. Figure is from the kit.

Kit is painted mostly with acrylics. The main color is ModelAir Hemp. Tracks were painted with ModelMaster gun metal lacquer. Black pin wash added. Weathering is AK Middle Eastern Dust pigment held on with alcohol.

These Magach 6B pieces are perhaps the most interesting armor subjects on the market. I can't wait to see all the Magachs lined up together.
Nice job on this one Mike!

I just realized there are 2 boxes on the rear fender I didn't dust. Oops. :-)
I'l fix that today.

They are a lot of work, but worth it. Great results Mike.
