Hobby Chillout Stream - M48A5 "Magach" IDF Armor (1973)
Join us for a mellow Sunday afternoon at the hobby table, where I finally put some paint on some models, expanding my 15mm Israeli forces with a platoon of “Magach” M48A5s.
Used extensively on the Sinai Front during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, these American-built tanks had been upgraded with the L7/M68A1 105mm rifle, new Continental engines and Allison transmissions. Such mobility was crucial in the wide, flat terrain that characterized much of the Sinai Front, where some of the heaviest tank combat since World War II would be fought.
These new models (3D printed) will be important for upcoming games of Seven Days to the River Rhine, pitted against pre-existing fleets of Egyptian T-54/55s and T-62s.
And who knows? Oriskany’s better half Gladesrunner promises to be working on some hobby as well!
