Hi Guys,

I am building Tamiya's M4A3(75)W and am having a hard time finding information on markings and paint schemes for the U.S. 3rd armoured division's M4A3's.

Bison has some decals of for an M4A3(76)W Alley Oop II showing it as having the white star and OD/Black camo.
I have seen the Video of 3rd AD in Cologne and it looks like one of the M4A3's in the video does not have the 2 tone camo while definitely having the Stars have painted out. Also there are no divisional codes on the particular M4A3 in the video. I believe there are others in the video that have them on the rear plate.

If anyone can shed some light on this subject it would be much appreciated.

I am hoping to do an M4A3 in the early or late fall 1944.


Thanks in advance.

David.
