I need help getting good photos of Egyptian M113a2's that served during Desert Shield/Storm, I do have an article by good ol' Chris Weeks, but I need color photos of markings and general setup of their M113a2. All help would be greatly appreciated. I am using the Tamiya M113a2 kit.

Thanks Frenchy, have not seen this one. I am also looking for pictures of license plate location and style. I do like the lion head insignia

IIRC, the pictured M113s belonged to the 3rd Armoured Brigade.

Here are a few more pics. Even though they are more recent, maybe they'll help with markings...
