Hi everyone,
I'm starting to assemble this MiniArt kit:

To make this tank which operated in The Sinai Peninsula during the Yom Kippur War in October 1973:

Full interior kit? See you in three months...
2 months of which will be spent finding the part that went to the floor... ;)

Why not add Blazer armour too ? :D 90% were the same blocks fitted to their M-60s with only a few new shapes in odd places.

That way lies madness!

Always loved the look of the Tiran and wonder what the IDF actually though of them verses their other MBTs.

from my friend in the IDF ....
The Tiran-1s (T-54) & Tiran-2 (T-55) were a convenient gap filler until they got more Western tanks & then the Merkava. They were "ok" refitted with the West's gun but were mainly used for training & supply to the South Lebanese Army, & eventually Peru !
Regarding the Tiran-3 (T-62) - Israeli tests of captured T-62's with a crack IDF crew suggest that the Russian 115mm U5-TS gun is consistently accurate over ranges of 3 klms and have obtained hits at 4.5klms (presumably 'static' on the range) - that's better than Western tank-guns of the day. In Soviet tank companies one tank (the best crew) is the roving tank operating as a 'sniper' and range-finder , the other 9 tanks only open fire at under 1500 mtrs.

Beautiful work so far! I love both the clean and used versions of the engine and interior. Is the assembly going well or is it annoying and tedious?

Agreed. That weathering looks the business :smiley:

Hi Frank,
not so tedious like assembling track links ... ;)
-
Fun Fact - when the Ford engines in the Yugoslavian M36B2 tank destroyers stopped working due to lack of spare parts, the JNA robbed Peter to pay Paul with those T55 powerpacks. Cut the engine deck out (since they had the mounts already set) and welded the section of T55 hull right into the TD's engine bay. Have fun with that minutia.

It's a good tank build when I look at how those rounds are stowed and get sympathetic flashbacky shoulder muscle pain along with a headache.

That's coming along nicely! The road wheel tire color looks great. Are you going to leave them as "factory new" or damage/wear the rubber down?
