middle east painting guide?

[Swanningabout]

Tired of olive green and dunkelgelb, I am in the mood for some post WWII middle eastern armour. Probably something Soviet. Does anyone know of a good colour guide on the net for post WWII mid-east armour? I am thinking of a single, straight sand like colour. This may seem a little strange to be choosing my next model on the basis of colour as much as on the type of tank, but what can I say?

Have a look at Empire City Decals

http://www.empirecitydecals.net/

They make a separate set of decals for T-55 tanks (and can easily substitute a T-62 as well as most of these countries used both), and have lots of different camo markings, many from Middle East countries.

perhaps you could get your hands on Tamiya's latest release http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/35328tiran5/index.htm

The Tiran looks pretty good. Actually, I do have my eye, however, on Tamiya's M51 Israeli Sherman. I think this is maybe the finest looking Sherman ever. And I am a dyed in the wool WWII modeller who, until recently, has had zero interest in post WWII armour.
