IDF M26 Super Pershing

[Tenerifecrimson]

My favorite tanks are the Leopard (sorry for the Abrams fans) Because of that my wife have decided to offer me an R/C version of one. Unfortuatlly as she know absolutly nothing about the tanks she have offer me an M26 Pershing with sound and smoke. Why did you say? Just because the M26 is called "the snow leopard" so for her it's a tank, it has traks, a turret, a gun and on the box they say leopard that have to be a Leopard tank ! Simple isn't lol

So she's back home with this tank and after some fake smile (sorry for that darling) I have think on myself: "what can i don with that? it don't match with my period" After some research on internet i have found a custom version of an M26 as an IDf tank. But the M26 has never been on service in the IDf and the custom version is a "What if". So, ok i am gone make my own version of a "what if" IDF M26. Still have a lot of work to do but here are the first pictures of my WIP IDF SUPER PERSHING

On the rear I have put the number plate for the tank that I still have to paint and the code sign on the turret.



On the front, I have added son tracks and the other number plate. I have paint the gun muzzle in black like the originals IDF tanks:



I start to work on the turret side coffer and added some Tamiya ammo boxes and tools:
