There has always been a lot of discussion
between modellers over the right colour of IDF vehicles.
I do not intend to give here the exact colour to use, but just one possible solution. Be careful concerning the periods: for example, some vehicles used during the Six Days War were in fact painted in Olive Drab (like the M7 Priest). Also remember that it does not look realistic to paint two vehicles exactly the same colour in a given diorama. |
