With the new FOW 6 day war lists out maybe a few additions to the Pendraken range would open this up for 10mm  T55 and PT-76 already in for the Arabs a Cent for the Isreali's and Jordan also some of the US WWII range will also do for the Isreali's.
Thinking of using late war Brit for Jordanian infantry and using American infantry for The Isreali

The only issue with that is anti tank weapons, mostly Belgian...
Apart from that I'm having the same idea...

[Sean67]

Yes Lemmey
But most of the anti tank in 1967 was for both sides  the Belgium RL-83 Blindicide bazooka. In 10mm this would be indistinguishable from the WWII US Bazooka's  the Jordanian troops used the M20 super bazooka.
The Jordanian troops are Centurion tanks M113  and 25pdr and quad tractors the only thing I think they will need would be the M42 anti aircraft. For the Isreali's have Centurions M48a3s ( Magach range) M51 Isherman,M50 Sherman and M1 super Sherman. The M3 will have to have their guns mounted in the front windscreen and have their machine gun rings off. Their Artillery are M7 priests and 25Pdr and quad tractors also a M3 TCM-20 will need to be made.
For the ArabRepublic (Egypt) you can use the T34/85 or T54/55 or IS-3M will need to have some ZSU-57-2 made but then the infantry can travel in BTR-152 transporters and BTR-50PK the Artillery are the old 122 and 152mm WWII model howitzers.the self propelled company is the old SU-1100M from the WWII range

The SIX DAY WAR offers a lot of potential.  As you rightly say Israel, Jordan  ...and Egypt had the Cent.  Jordan and Israel the Patton.  AND  the Sherman Firefly with a little modification to the turret counter weight can take the field as the M50. And the support company that accompanied the Paratroopers into Jerusalem was mounted in  older versions.

Infantry is more of an issue.  Most regular units of the IDF had the Uzi and the FN rifle.  Reserve units still had the Czech Mauser.
American helmets had replaced British ones.
Israeli paras wore a mix  of French lizard pattern /olive green uniforms  and British jump helmets

How well would a dedicated range of Israeli and Arab figures sell in 10mm ?.

[Sean67]

Sunray your correct
the Isreali's had changed over to the American Helmet and the Egyptian infantry had soviet style helmets,the Jordanian infantry used the English helmet I was going to use the WW2 American infantry for the Isreali infantry and WW2 British infantry for the Jordanian infantry. Painted in the right colours I think that the weapon issue will be missed  not sure if the WW2 soviet infantry would work for the Egyptians I think that if used I would have to try and use figures that do not have the greatcoat rolled up and round their shoulder.
I also think that a dedicated range would sell but not sure if it would sell enough to recupe the initial outlay.

Come to the Cent Side, my Pretties! Look deep into the 6 Day War and see that you really, really, really need Centurions!

They mocked me! They scoffed! But ultimately I will have my revenge when the Centurion becomes the best seller in the Pendraken catalogue!

Now I am really beginning to worry about your current medication FSN..... .

Sean - would Argentine infantry with the FN be suitable for 1966 Israelis ?   The WW2 Commando pack also has nice figures in berets.

Trying out a new designer with the BTR152, AMX13, IS3m, I'm looking at converting the jumbo sherman??

The centurions are ready, unfortunately the bolt fell out of leon's neck and he is off for a few days with a stiff neck.  The lists ready
