Hi Dave
Well done, I like a lot!
Take a look here to maybe find something interesting
http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?68771-Yum-Kippur-WarAs far as I know (but I could be wrong, you should verify) the right camo were the 3th and the 6th of the list about syrian camouflages which you can find here
http://www.alsminiature.com/index.html



But, I repeat, you should verify, i'm not an arab tanks expert
cheers

looking very nice; inspiration here for certain!
Did you mask the camo patterns, even roughly?
I don't buy models to stash them, I'd rather build 'em. So I don't have a huge stash. I don't count rivets, and I can appreciate the spirit of What-if-'46 campaigns. Mostly 1/35 ground militaria, my preferred topic. But I dabble. 1/48 B29 coming up s
