Quick review of WOMA's Israeli Merkava MK. IV MBT set. Name: Israeli Merkava MK. IV MBT MFG: WOMA PN#: C0116 Brand: World-Tanks PCS: 475 Figs: 2 Year: 2020 Status: Discontinued For starters please understand that this tank is very small it is not to LEGO fig scale, heck it's about half that scale, I read it was about 1:10th scale from Alibaba.com the tank is close to 1:72 scale. That said it is one heck of a detailed set once built. WOMA is a brick company from Hong Kong they make a lot of interesting sets, check them out at en.woma.cn/. Now on to the review. As I said the finished set is small but has a high detail level that most companies would use stickers to achieve but WOMA went all out and painted all the surface details onto the bricks. The painting quality is very high with no errors on any of the bricks I had in my set. Speaking of the bricks the quality is equally high with no flash or mold points, and not a single missing part but unfortunately one of the runner wheels failed to mold properly. If there is a downside to the set it's the treads, they do move but not very well nor on any smooth surfaces. The turret turns freely a full 360 degrees. The set includes 2 LEGO style minifigs which have fully painted camo and full sets of weaponry and a ammo box containing "shells" for the tank. Now the downside, WOMA seems to have already removed this set from their website, it is still available on Aliexpress. Please ignore my finger in the fourth picture.

Both of the C0116 and C0117 sets from WOMA sell on Aliexpress for between $15 and $19 each. I don't remember the exact price I paid but I know I bought them during a sale so I got them at a discount. I think around $12 each.

Sadly Gramps Aliexpress' last sale ended last week, you may have to wait a while for the next sale. On top of that I bought those sets back in 2021 so they were more prevalent on Aliexpress back then.
