Soviet made artillery in the Saharan desert

Another old little diorama in 1/72. A Soviet made 122 mm M-30 howitzer in Egyptian service during the Six Days War in 1967 or the following War of Attrition until 1970.
The howitzer were used extensively by the Soviets during WWII and large numbers found their way to the Middle East in the 1950s and 60s.


The M-30 and two of the crew are by Zvezda. The figures have been slightly modified to look like Egyptians rather than Soviets in WWII.


The third figure is from Esci's Warsaw Pact Troops.


Ammo box is scratch built by myself (from matches and plastic sheet).
