That's a little old for the IDF to still be using in 2013, don't you think?   ;)

Cheers,

I'm far from an expert, but it certainly looks the business to me!

Nice work, Mr Aldrich!

Is that a 75mm Pack Howitzer towed behind a Jeep in the background?  The wood wheels are not often seen on this piece.

I know!  That is actually a picture of the H39 "What If" I am planning!  That is "supposedly" a 6 Pounder barrel attached to the H39!

Very nice  :)  Those markings make a big difference as does the machine gun (MG3 or MG42?).

Thanks guys!  The MGs are 34s.  Czechs had the license to make them and the IDF bought lots.  Been thinking of building that Hotchkiss with the fake 6 pounder but making it so it MIGHT be able to be fired!  casting the German style turret this week.  At least making the mold.  My resin is dried up and it will take a week to get some more!  LHSs never have what I need when i need it.  Also been contemplating building AFVs Big Foot as a IDF vehicle!
