Aloha Everyone!!!
Getting that bonus check from work tommorow and so I'm getting ready to place that "big" order but was wondering first off if anyone has any pictures of T-55's or T-72's in use with any of the African nations. Tried doing the Google thing and didn't get many good leads.
Thank You In Advance!!!

Kurt - I have some Somali pix on my home PC - I'll email them to you. I think the T72 would be considered rare for Africa outside Libya and possibly Algeria, I might be wrong on that though......

Like alreay mentioned T-72 were/ are rare in Africa. Most common are T-62 (Ethiopia), T-55 and T-34/85.
Try Corbis for pics.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
