I've been looking around on the internet but cannot find answers to my latest query: in what paint scheme were the Soviet Sherman tanks, obtained through the lend-lease program, completed? Did they have the typical Soviet green paint job? Did they have slogans?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA...Kevin

Soviet 'emchas' (M4s) were delivered in standard US OD and stayed that way. The Red Army painted on their own markings after delivery over the shipping/servicing data stencilled on before delivery, but they don't seem to have bothered repainting with 4BO.
