1/35 Scale of Tamiya figures, M3 half-track, M113 body and Verlinden resin product of M113 Fitter.

Background
This diorama took place in 1982 Lebanon War, the "Operation Peace for Galilee." An IDF M113 Fitter found a broke down M3 half-track in the Lebanese frontier, this Combat Repair Vehicle acts as a transport for replacement parts and as a workstation for light repair. Fitter is the backbone of any IDF assault & tank unit. The IDF is still using the M3 half-track nowadays, among the many variants of the M3, they are still very active old workhorses! (Surprise!)

Model
It is always fun to build IDF gears and see all those variants of their tanks, trucks. The troops love to DIY and change parts and make the machines fit their war. I built up this Fitter by using resin parts of Verlinden Product and a body of Tamiya M113. During research, I am so surprise that IDF is still using the old US M3 half-track. (at youtube videos) So I have the idea to build a diorama for these two old buddies of M113 Fitter & M3 half-track
together.

Special thanks to Photoworkshop Hong Kong

  • @100Tigrovi Hello, yes it surprised me, when I was doing research for the half-track, a youtube video was talking about it and I guess it may be used for trainning / back up of the war (Guess), My diorama background was the 1982 Lebanon War,, called Operation Peace for Galilee.
