According to Steve Zalogaīs article in Military modelling Vol.27 No.12 September 1997:
'IS3Ms in Egyptian service in 1967 were painted in an overall light biscuit sand colour. For parade purposes, they sometimes carried an imperial vulture insignia wich I showed in my recent Concord book in the Mid East wars. The survivors were eventually painted in a three-tone camouflage scheme, probably around the time of the 1973 war. This consisted of the same light sand colour, with large patches of a dull cocoa brown and a medium green. The IS-3 in the Budge collection in the UK was deliverd from Egypt in this scheme (...)'.
In the same issue there is a photo report of this tank by Bob Fleming. Itīs said that two ex-egyptian IS-3Ms were restored at the Budge Collection and one of them was displayed only once at Duxford in 1987 and exported to the USA in 1997. I remember sseing a clip in YouTube of this tank, but I donīt saved the link and Iīm unable to find it now.
If you want I can post or send to your mail some photos of my own model based in those articles.
Hope this helps you |
