I'm interested in building a dio re: the Indian-Pakistan war in 1971. I know the Indians used several tanks, including the T-55. Does anyone know if an out-of-the box T-55 (Tamiya, for instance) would have to be modified in any significant way to accurately represent the Indian version?

Thanks!

The Indians put a fake fume extractor where it would have been on the L7/M68 barrels so from a distance they would look like 105s. They used the British style markings.
