Hi Guys,
Here is my version of an Egyptian 3rd army T-62 from the Yom Kippur war. This is the Trumpeter T-62 model in 1/35th scale. A well engineered kit and a pleasure to build. Some inaccuracies have been identified by the "experts", but nothing that detracts from the overall effect. Hope you like it.
Ed Okun/ Frogman.

You have obviously done a great job, mistook the first 3 pics of the model to be a real tank. Great job!!!

2x My first thought was "cool new colour pictures of Egyptian T-62s". It took me 20 seconds to realyse its a model. I think thats compliment enought to Your work Ed.

Wow, you got me too Ed.
Great job on the tank and a great job with the photos
Very realistic, I really like to see completed models displayed this way
it gives a better perspective rather than just sat on a board

Superb

Well done!!! Espically on the camo. The Egyptians (from what I have seen) didnt normally camo their tanks. You did a great job of recreating the effect.
With the cost of the kits today it would be a sin to do this but the most common sight of the late 20th Century/early 21 Century is a "knocked out" brewed up Russian tank!Its going on right now in Syria. Let us know if you do one!
