Yes another one in the works, well...........finished the building after I started it a fairly long time ago.
When I opend the box I found it was about 80% build. So one little sesion of gleu sniffing the basic construction was done. I want to improve on a few little things like the saw, clamps for the tow cable and a few other bits and bobs. I slapt on the modelkasten ZSU tracks as I did have them and it was easier to use that than fill and fille al the tracks and try and make them fit around the wheels and sprocket.
I adde a few bits of plumbing to the gun barrels and the radar dish.

I am going to stick to the colour scheme as shown in the instructions for an Egyptian vehicle used in 1973.

The only thing I am not sure about is if there should be vehicle numbers on it.
The instruction done show them but I some how feel they should be on it. Could any body shed some light onthis matter?

Well enough typing here are the photos of how it turned out.

According to my reference - Concord's Tank battles of the mid-east wars - their SA-6s had a triangular crest or recognition sign, followed by three digit Arabic numerals on the hull side, with the traingle in the center. I know an SA-6 (or Kvadrat) is not a ZSU-23, but maybe it helps determining what's the best thing to do.
