I think the hooben merkava has good shape and details, but 3D printed for such a big piece was a fail from hooben, and probably the rest of the new tanks will suffer the same problems, I wouldn't spend money in the merkava, looks expensive just for resting in the shelf. However I insist the T55 is other history, the latest release is good enough to make a good and robust runner, made of strong plastic. I built 3, one more under construction and only the one from 2011 had serious problems, mainly because my inexperience with other than Tamiya.
