More plastic from BF, suitably up detailed. Plastic set of five ISU 152's ( I have plans for the other two!) converted into Egyptian modified 152's plus the command version.
I filled the hulls with polyfilla to add some weight, small touch, but then it's all about the little details!
As usual hatches drilled and opened out, together with plastic card hatches which are more in scale.
The command version is fairly simple, all I had to do was add some welding beads around the gun mantles blank.
The cages around the lights were complicated but I think I pulled it off!
Based as per the SU 100s, although the command version may well get a bigger diorama style base to reflect its purpose.
All three together, ready for priming and crewing.
Gaming?
Not sure if these ever crossed the suez in'73, but useful to have as options, maybe they'll provide a surprise for some SAM hunting IDF recce on the West Bank.
I am considering developing this little October War expedition into another display game. Whilst I have been extremely successful in the past, time and real life has prevented me creating anything over the last year or so. Plans are afoot for possibly 26 foot of Sinai ! We'll see.....
And...
Am working on some QRF Mi-8 "Hips", lot of work needed, but I think they'll come out fine.

I like the look of those "angry" Hips....
Indeed, I understand the Egyptians only deployed two rocket pod options so will reconfigure the odd one. In general they are taking quite a bit of time, but will be accent display peices so worth the effort. tthanks to qrf supplying some additional rotor hubs I will have the option of both blades and rotor discs, I anticipate they will be the subject of a post on their own over Christmas
