I bought a Takom AMX-13 kit and when I saw aftermarket decals, thought of making the 1965 Indian version. I assume the basic version would be correct? Also, I found no references to Indian soldiers of that era.

Thanks! The soldiers seem very British in appearance.

Indeed. And they used British weapons as well :

What I've read about the war so far talks about how it affected the Patton tank's reputation...but hardly anything else. I do wonder what the long-term effects were, if anything. Pakistan was supposed to be our ally and India our foe. But we've become friends with India during the Bush administration, and I read about Svetlana Stalin's visit to India and how she noted the Soviets actually looked down on the Indians.
