I'm working on some 1/200 Egyptian Badgers – want to be sure they were in natural aluminum before I paint. I remember a picture of a couple destroyed on the tarmac but I cannot find that to conform.

Turrets on a jet… what's not to love!

For the Six Day War, I imagine natural metal is probably the most likely scheme.

They did have a sand/brown, and Nile Delta one too, but imagine that is more appropriate for 1970, and later.

Looks good!

I wish it was in 1/300th scale.

According to the following website, bare metal was used up until at least 1970. Apparently, many aircraft had Soviet crews.

By the 1973 War, the aircraft were camouflaged:
