I'm sure this topic has cropped up here, so worth pointing out that the WI website has made an old article on WW2 Russian patriotic slogans available for download:

A lot of grammatical errors. This is apparently the enemy wrote - on Russian tanks. NKVD probably are interested in such inscriptions  >:D   lol


Here is good information over tactical markings on the Russian tanks:

Thanks for the link. Perhaps you should approach WI and ask them if you can write an updated article.

I of course can fix most of the inscriptions (some graffiti does not make sense - it's just a set of letters.) If they turned to me with such a request.

Here are a couple of links to the Russian-language resources that will help choose the color scheme of tanks:
