Kit :  Omega-K / Leva
Comments:  Darryl says this is one of the best kits in 1/72nd scale.  He scratch-built most of the interior and cut open the passenger-side door, drilled out exhaust pipe and modified the headlight guards.   Added all stores and gear in the truck.  The towed gun is another nice kit from Leva and looks perfect behind the truck.  He drilled out the muzzle brake and barrel.  Further additions include lift handles to the gun trunnions and bolt detail to the wheels.  This vehicle represents a gun tractor of the Egyptian Army during the 1967 Six Day War against Israel.   Truck numbers were hand-painted and the flag from a 1/72nd MIG-21 plane kit.
