We may have sold some to Turkey or Israel, I'm not sure though. I'm reasonably sure the US didn't put them in a desert pattern.

I looked through some of the pics on the armorrama site of old US tanks in Iraq but i didn't see any bulldogs though there are some still in service with some other countries beleive it or not.

According to the old Osprey Vanguard #40, US Light Tanks 1944-84, the following desert countries received some type of M41 from the US: Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Lebanon, and Tunisia.

I have no idea if they were painted in a desert scheme.

None of my stuff shows any M41's in a desert scheme

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Cool. i only have the Illustrated Directry of Tanks of the World [2003 ed by david Miller published by MBI books].The M41 is listed as still in service with Brazil, Chili, Denmark, Dominica, Guatamala, China, Thailand, and Uruguay. Since it only listed the "current" countries where it was still in service I had no idea if it ever made it to any desert countries. I'm certain that the ones in Iran, Iraq, and Saudi were sand [everything else (esp the old WWII stuff)over there seems to be!lol]. Thanks again Rob! Now I can justify painting my Bull Dog sand. The "Desert Dog".

The Saudi ones were painted sand, according to a photo I saw in an armor reference book I saw at an IPMS meeting. Also, I thought that Jordan also had Bulldogs too, can anyone confirm that?
