Hi All !

The JSU-152M was owned by the Egyptians or the Syrians ? I`d like to bulid one and theese countrys paint schemes is i think fits for this vehicle. I know the egyiptian unit in latrun (israel) , but it is overpainted , and just a simple JSU-152 not the late M version.

Can anyone help me about this ?
Thanks
Mykman

Good Afternoon, mykman,

From the webpage: -- The russian battlefield: JSU-152

About the JSU-152, literally:

"Egypt was a single country that bought a large amount of JSU-152. By the beginning of 1960th it had at least one regiment equipped with JSU-152. During a wars in 1967 and in 1973, Egypt used these assault guns. Later, JSU-152 have been used as a pillboxes along the Suez Canal."

Mykman, I don´t know if exactly they were JSU-152 "M", but (in my ignorance, sorry), I think it´s not a core matter...

I´m willing to see your egyptian JSU-152 displayed here!

Wich painting scheme will you use? I think that this "blocky monster" coul be really great in just plain "Egyptian Yellow".

I´ve also found a photo in the www. It was taken in 1973. It´s a Egyptian JSU-152 in a three color camo scheme: irandefence.net

Some kind of pale yellow, green, and brown. I think there´s a book written by Zaloga that describes this scheme.

Thanks for the answer Roberto !

I just bought the shanghai dragon jsu-152 with aber screen and rb models barell. I`m intend to build this with the trumpeter IS-3M wheels and fenders. But it is a future project , until this i must finish 2 projects So it wont begin within a year at last
The paint scheme i think will be the plain yellow , or maybee the brown/green/yellow camo from the `70ties.

Yeah, zapper, in the link you´ve posted can be seen the 3-color scheme photo that I´d mentioned... Maybe the darker color is green...

Mykman, if you finally choose the "plain yellow", MASTER "Mig Jimenez" posted here in Armorama (it was a post titled "Egyptian Armour Colour-'56/67 Wars") his personal recipe for "Egyptian yellow":

He chooses Tamiya colors:

Mix Desert Yellow 20%
Dark Yellow 10%
Buff 30%
White 40%

After homogeneizing the mix, he adds a 30% of Tamiya Clear... and sprays...

I think it would be really great!

Thank you !
I think i can build an M version , becouse i saw a few is-3M in egyiptian colours. They could be owned a few JSU-152m too.
