Shilka paint schemes

[ShotMagnet]

I recently bought the Dragon Shilka kit, now I'm looking for a nice paint job to emulate. Anyone have pictures of Shilkas in Indian, Syrian, or Iraqi service? Did the Chinese use Shilkas, and if so does anyone have any pictures of them in Chinese camouflage?

Thanks in advance.

well, first and best bet for cammo schemes is to run a search on google or to buy Concord's book on the ZSU-23-4 series.

 

Syria and Iraq primarily have a plain sand color, with lots of weathering. Iraq also has this new "burnt to a crisp" cammo look.

 

India, I am unsure what they have sitting here at the computer.

 

China has no ZSU-23-4 vehicles that I know of.

Couldn't find anything on Google, which is why I turned my attentions here.

Thanks for the Indian Shilka link.

Good stuff. Thanks for the links. Looks like Indian cammo will be the way to go.
