Looks great !

Still a wip but here is the Syrian Panzer IV !

Syria got a few in bad shape from France, some Frankenpanzer s from the Czechs and finally superb ones from Spain since they were never used.

France gave the Syrian those to 'balance' the help they sold the Israeli with the M-50 and M-51 Sherman tanks

Panzer IV ausf H Syrian 1967

New Syrian Jagdpanzer IV texture

PS if anyone has other pictures than the 2 known ones please post them here

Stug III is ab2 reskinnwd with new safat mg model

Proof of concept details in uv on 3d model, last picture is already a correction after seeing it ingame #supersherman

Cloned and reskinnwd ab2 centurion model

Next i Will modify the shot into a shot Kal the one with the continental engine and the added mg and basket

Btw still don't know why the pziv doesn't work so far

Sho't Kal made editing the AB2 model

New can btr-50

Excited for this one! Love the middle-east wars during the cold war.

Now we get to see the cloned models in-game! This allows me to set different skins for the same type]

And the T-54 with rl number from the valley of tears

Syrian T-34 85 Golan heights 1967 , the same inscription is found on at least 2 T-34s

The box at the back of the turret will be removed in due time and a small drum added to the back, uv map edited from AB2 model and the DSH MG stand will be added too

Syrian T-34s from the 6 days war in the field ! Edited 3d model and custom textures. The same variety they had in rl and all from rl examples, More to come!

Strangest Camo Ever !!!!! Syrian T-34-85 captured by the Israeli IDF in the Golan Heights in June 1967.
Unusual camouflage in the form of orange paint right handprints!! maybe the 'hamsa' or hand image used against the evil eye, also dedicated to the Egyptian independence fighter Mustafa Kamil. This one was a b.. to do especially since the pieces on the uv map are not the same scale...

and the T-54 seen in the background on the last photo with the 2 idf soldiers, script remade from both photos

Here is a better view of the 'hands' stenciled on this T-34
Note that they probably are stamped on as they look to be larger than human size, so not dipping your hand in the paint bucket kind of thing !
