Beautiful job!

 

Elsewhere on the forum there is a discussion about WW II Japanese planes using western letters and Arabic Numerals for markings.  It looks like the Israelis use both Hebrew and western markings.

 

What is the significance of the lathe letter V seen on Israeli military vehicles?

They are company markings.

  • ^ = 1st Company
  • < (pointing forward) = 2nd Company
  • V = 3rd Company
  • > (pointing backward) = 4th Company

I think that has to possibly be the most busy and detailed out-of-the-box tank I have ever seen and your build is masterfully executed yet again Craig.

 

I was wondering if they still used a barrel clamp and I now see it on the right rear corner. Seems like kind of a strange location rather than on the centerline as normally seems to be the case on other tanks.

Hey Craig, I've been out of town, etc. most of the past month, and am just catching up on this board.  Wow, what an incredible job you did!  Very nice my friend!  

 

Even more important, congratulations to your daughter!  You must be really proud of her :)
