Great model and great image....the photography is superb in itself, let alone the fantastic finish on the model....
No-one else has asked, but I will! More pictures please! Lots more!

Thanks for your great comments on the wrecked tank, chaps.
Cheers, Dave.
When I've condensed the far too many pickies, and for anyone else who might like to see more pictures, I'll opened up a new 'Completed' thread, I'll also post a couple of pointers which might be of use to any would be 'Wreckers'
Thanks again.
Ron

Final Stage....
The Israelis have turned the tables on the invaders.
In the North they have pushed the Syrians off the Golan Heights and have actually invaded Syria, and are but a few miles from the capital, Damascus.
In the west the Israeli Army has thrown the Egyptians back across the Suez Canal, and in turn has invaded Egypt, heading for Cairo! President Assad of Egypt, seeing his country being invaded and watching his main ally getting a good leathering, has asked for a cease fire.
The cost in Egyptian tanks destroyed was in just three weeks of fighting was 2,500! The Israelis lost around 1200. Mind boggling destruction in such a short time, and in a relatively small area of conflict.
Here are the final set of pictures of this build, showing an Israeli Sherman passing a burnt out T-62, and also passing the outpost, which was captured by the Egyptians during their initial advance into Israel.
A Patton and Sherman together waiting for further orders.....
....just in case an Israeli jet is trigger happy!
I would like to thank those who posted encouraging comments during the build and for sticking with it too!
It makes all the difference to me, and keeps me going.
Cheers.

Wow, thank ever so much Jim.
You might have noticed there are more pictures of the Sherman than the Patton. The reason is simple. It looks more of a beast than the more modern Patton!
Thanks again, and thanks for sticking with the build from start to finish. Top man for sure....

Think you got the wrong general. I thought that was a Walker Bulldog? Great finishes! Excellent detail touches. Love the air recognition flag. PaulE
A fitting end to what has been a fascinating journey! Yet more good stuff from you young Ron!
Well that was fun !

An excellent finalé Ron.
It's all been said before but along with your superb modelling skills you have an uncanny knack of being able to stage and frame a scene for maximum impact.
Love it all!

Great diorama! The right T-62 would be the T-62 mod.1967 which the loader hatch do not fix the Dshk yet. This is the link to Ed Okum a veteran of YKW73
