1/16 Scale IDF Shot Meteor Israeli Centurion Mark 5 MB Tank

**airdave** · #1 12-16-2014, 01:53 PM

The IDF (Israeli) version of the successful Centurion, better known as the Sho't.
In this case, the "Sho't Meteor"

This is the early version of the Centurion as used by the Israelis in the first half of the 1960s.
[The Sho't Cal" came later, when Israel bought England's remaining Centurion stock and modified
them with extra armour, 105mm main guns, additional secondary weapons and a completely new diesel engine.]

1/16 scale paper model, comes with alternate parts to produce Mk.5, Mk.5.1 and Mk.5.2 versions.
Finished in IDF colours with extra weathering and texture effects.

This kit is a little larger (data file size) than the Canadian Centurion kit due to the extra textures/artwork layering.

Model is available now, just in time for gift giving!
Happy Holidays!

Special offer on this one....I need to see some photos of a built IDF Centurion model.
If you buy this kit, and build it and send me some photos (you are also welcome to post a build thread)
I'll give you a refund*! (*Actually, I'll give the same cost in free models from my shop)

Get the model here: www.papermodelshop.com
and at ecardmodels: http://www.ecardmodels.com/index.php...per-model.html

bump

I gotta ask...
has anyone got this kit
and is working on a build?

If so, I really want to see some photos of what you have done.
I was thinking of building some of this model myself...maybe a Turret?
But I just don't have the time with other test builds and in-progress work.

Just thought I would ask.

Great to hear!

Do you plan any modifications or build it as is?

I always build as is. I'm not that familiar with specific versions. Enough for me to enjoy the quality of the designs the members of this forum put into their offerings. The detail provided in some of the kits is amazing.

well, you have a couple of choices in the kit...

Mk 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2

Two different gun barrels.
Extra Glacis armour.
Various deck accessories.

So, I hope you have fun with it!
