Sol Models 1/16 Merkava.
 

So there's been a unicorn Merkava on youtube for years but I've never had success on contacting the manufacturer. Now it looks like Sol models may be coming up with something. Hmm, not sure why the link is coming up like this. Just click on it then the main page then go to tanks then 1/16.

Bret, I can't get to the Merkava because I keep getting distracted by the Panzer I and the Zundapp motorcycle! In 1/16! How cool is that? Have you ever ordered from these guys?

I've never had any of their stuff. Think it's mostly resin as their Easy 8 kit has been out for years. Thought at one time they had a hetzer as well but I may be confusing that with the Blue Star offering. The Merkava looks to be CnC metal by the looks of the Facebook pics and on their site.

I thought the Sol Merkava kit (last I looked) was a resin offering.

But I did see that all metal 1/16 tank on FB but I believed it was someones individual project.

If you look at one of the replies by the poster on FB he links the Sol site.

Sol merkava is resin with metal tracks

Tom, do you know anything about the Panzer I? Can it be RCed?

I don't I'm afraid, I only just saw it saw it when I went on their site yesterday.

It is also available on rctank.de

The full metal version is (was ?) available on Royal Tech

That's it! The resin kit looks so intimidating as I wish it was that easy.

....Сегодня (тобишь -16.07.2013 13:59) договорился с продавцом и заказал из Ю.Кореи - Merkava 3d в масштабе 1:16 (в металле)....

Whenever I tried contacting Royal Tech I never got a response.

if you can wait a while ... Chris and me are working at a Panzer I Ausf B and Command tank I conversion as a RC Version. I guess it will be available next Summer.
