IDF M151 MUTT

Dave in a three night marathon managed to build and paint a MUTT TOW launcher in IDF colours. This vehicle is really a trial run so Dave could get the colours right for a Merkva MBT he is building.
Daves boy Izzy was allowed to give a hand with the airbrushing. Passing on the tradition.
I am 90% sure this is an Academy kit, which is pretty hassle free and a nice simple kit to get into 1/35 scale modelling.
Nice looking rope.
I believe the M151 is still used in reserve units in Israel. I like the mud detail on the tyres.
The nice thing about these vehicles says Dave is the use of spot welding equipment and add ons to the body and frame.
A lovely quick build. Well done Dave.
