Can anyone point me towards some useful sources on IDF vehicles during the Lebanon conflict in the early 80's? I'm thinking about converting a Centurion and M113 kits to represent their Israeli versions and could do with some solid visual refefence.

Asuming you mean 15mm. P Pig have the various centurion and M113s you need.

I used PP's beautiful range for my '82 IDF. If you tootle "Peace for Galilee", youwill probably see some images or "Israeli M113".

1/72 I'm afraid, Martin!

1/72, then try the Hobby Den in Ireland. Brian sells a M113 and a Centurion that he made for his own Israeli's

Wasn't aware of Hobby Den's range, thanks Gunbird, but I want to try my own hand at converting Airfix's Centurion first. I'm looking more for books, websites on the subject more so for visual reference.

On line Look for the Israeli armour museum at Latrun.

I have pictures of Israeli Centurians if need be.

God Bless you
