Two articles in the December 2010 Scale Military Modeler International!  First is an feature covering my M51 model, which also made the cover!  This was built a number of years back and is the combination of parts from a couple of kits plus some scratchbuilt items to make an accurate Israeli 105mm gunned Sherman from the Six Day War in 1967.  Hard to believe these shermans, designed in World War Two, were modified and used by the Israeli Defence Force up thorugh the 1970s!

Second article covers my M151A1C  MUTT with a 106mm recoiless rifle, as seen in Veitnam.  This is a extensive rework of the Academy kit, adding a lot of extra detail and correcting the kit. 

SMMI is available at your local bookstore or hobbyshop, or you can order direct from SAM Publicaitons website at www.sampublications.com. Check it out!

Look for the November Scale Military Modeler International for a two page article on the Academy M151 Shimra!  I describe the construction, painting, and weathering of this fine model.  Also hit on some of the issues with the kit, and how to correct them.  Find the magazine at your favorite hobby shop or book store, or order direct from SAM Publications at www.sampublications.com.
