Hi guys,

I was wanting to try & build a Sryian Stug from the six day war & was wondering if anyone had any close ups on the AA gun mount etc

Cheers Mike

You might find this article useful. It was posted by a fellow member a few weeks ago. Plenty of information concerning ex-German panzers used by Syria...

Hi Israel,
Many thanks already got that book marked as you said was very informative, but it is photos of the actual mount I am hoping to find more than anything.
Thanks for the tell though!!
Cheers Mike

Hi Mike,
Probably not much of a help neither, but anyhow...
These pictures resembling a Syrian Stug captured by the IDf during the Six Days War...

Hi Israel,
Thanks for those it is the bottom link I am hoping to build so hopefully someone may have a better view of the gun mount.

Maybe just maybe Frenchy may be able to work his magic.....
Cheers Mike

IRC there was a review of a resin / pe gun mount of that type not too long ago ( May ? ) . But the I can't recall the company that made it or who reviewed it . Sorry , not a lot of help HA ! Found it : Mar 23/16 .Syrian T-34 AA Mount by FC Model Trend -reviewed Saul Garcia

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the info, but I am not sure if the mounts were the same as different machine guns were mounted on the stugs, compared to the T34's & Panzer IV's
Cheers Mike

Hi Mike,

I've no direct answer to your question. However there is a group build being organized for the Six Day War. There may be folks there who may be able to help. You may want to sign up as well.

Cheers,

Hi Tat,
