Is that a woman with an Uzi on the roof?!?!?! Love it!
They were such a huge part of the military and totally under represented!

 

[graycap]

well that is really a surprise. Nice to see something post 1945!

I think the figure on the roof is Moishe Dayan - he appears to have an eyepatch It was Israeli paras supported by Ishermans (the Centurions and M-48s were in the Sinai) who captured Jerusalem back in 1967. Dayan was with them. Perhaps some Jordanian opposition in due course?

 

[nysoldiers]

Looking forward to this range with opposition of course!

I meant in the back corner - you can just see what appears to be an uzi and someone in a skirt

I think the tank should be $18!!!!!!! {sm3}


"There have been various mystical numerological speculations about the fact that, according to the system of gematria, the letters of chai add up to 18 (see "Lamedvavniks" etc.). For this reason, 18 is a spiritual number in Judaism, and many Jews give gifts of money in multiples of 18 as a result."

Can Egyptian JS-2's be far behind?

Would like to see a T55 and an M3 IDF halftrack.
Been to the Sinai, Peacekeeping with the Fijians.

You're right!

 

[zblang]

An IDF halftrack would be awesome! I have a decent collection of IDF figures, tanks, jeeps, airplanes, etc. but have never seen a halftrack or other vehicles (i've seen model kits, but nothing premade, painted, etc

 

[nmrocks]

If I recall correctly I read an article about destroyed Syrian Stug III, IV's still on the Golan heights today?

I would swoon if they made figures depicted the capture of the Kotel or Har haBayit. I hope they do a Shlomo Goren with a shofar... it would work for Jerusalem and Hebron. For those of you who haven't heard the (possibly apocryphal) Hebron story, here it is:

The IDF set up camp outside of Hebron, planning to take the city the next day. Rabbi Goren's tent was at the center of the camp, and he asked that the soldiers wake him before the early morning attack so he could join them. When he awoke, it was already morning and the soldiers were gone, so he got in his jeep and drove to Cave of the Patriarchs at the center of Hebron. The city seemed to be deserted, and he assumed the IDF had already taken it. Belatedly, he climbed to the top of the Cave of the Patriarchs, raised a hastily made Israeli flag, and blew his shofar, signaling, the Jewish conquest of the city. Slowly, Jordanian troops and local militiamen began to emerge from the streets, carrying white flags. As luck would have it, the IDF decided to postpone their attack, and Goren had just driven -- alone -- into a city held by the enemy. Nevertheless, the city of Hebron surrendered to a lone rabbi carrying only a shofar.
