I'm spreading by affliction to armour again, having previously produced AWB and Imperial Roman armour, I'm now having a go at Israeli armour that never happened.
So.....Israeli "modified" M3A1 Stuart ;D
and Israeli-modified M-41 Walker Bulldog ;D
and Israeli-modified M-24 Chaffee. ;D ;D
Could be fun ;D ;D ;D

Would need a new name of course. Ummm. Do we have a bad taste section..? Wasn't there a plan to fit out the Concorde as a military version...

OK then chaps, these are the 1/35th possibilities:
T-34 hull.....something needs doing as the Israelis captured lots, but what? Probably a tracked support vehicle.
DUKW....obviously for crossing the Nile, etc..
LAV-25...pretty, eh?
Leopard II...the latest one with the humungous turret.
Add lots of extra bits, stowage, etc.. This will be fun, eh??

Extend the front of the T-34 hull to make a boat shape, and add screws at the rear and flotation drums along the sides. The Russians used to drive turretless ones into low rivers in pairs to make temporary bridges so a proper conversion makes 'sense' as a what if

What a cracking idea! Do I give the driver a snorkel? How about a demountable tower like the commander has on the Leopard turret? Oh, and I can see it as a light sky blue for some strange reason, but I just drank three Stellas while doing a barbie so you might like to gather up all the sharp knives just in case...

I'm glad you said doing a barbie rather than doing a Barbie Sky blue? Seen some photos recently of T-34s, etc., at the Israeli Armour Museum repainted light blue. They do look very nice. Hey , for Nile crossings they could have false crocodile heads fitted to frighten the opposition away. A visit to the local Early LearningCentre is called for to buy a croc or two? And hey, if we did the same to an Israeli Churchill tank, it could be known as a "Churchill Crocodile", or have we been there before?
