Hello to all,
I am currently working on a Iranian M60 durning the Iran-Iraq war. Does anyone have any idea or pictures of the markings they used durning the war? :(
Thanks for the help.

Grant,
In Iranian service, M60A1 were overall US armor sand, not the newer more tan CARC paint.
Markings seem to have been limited to national identification roundels carried on both sides of the turret. I am not aware of any manufactiurer for armor specific Iranian roundels, but aircraft modelers would probably assist. I sourced a pair from an ancient Esci aircraft decal sheet.
There is a color graphic at the following site. Towards the bottom of the page there is a set of thumbnails. At least two are photos of Iranian M60A1, although it is uncertain when the pics were taken. Note that at least some photos are miscaptioned.
