pretty excited about thiskinda thing.not really this particular mbt but the idea they would release it.I build only idf stuff and I have a budget,Can't afford all those resin kits from Legend.nOw why don't do a MerkavaMK>4 or reissue some of the older merks as updates or something to fill that gap.
