Hi,

I'm looking for help in choosing colors for the above mentioned conflict. I'll be doing this in 15mm and need suggestions for Armor and Infantry.

Thanks

IDF- Mostly olive green fatigues. Paras often had French style lizard camo. Helmets with tan cloth covers. Webbing dark tan. Boots brown.

Egyptians- Light khaki fatigues. Camo helmet overs. Dark brown spots on tan. Boots black. Webbing is a mystery to me. Hard to find good photos of it.

For painting Israeli tanks I'm using this:

They come out looking like this:

My tanks are for '73, but in '67 the colour for Egyptian tanks was a light sand, so I'd use the Vallejo colour of the same name (and have done on my SU-100s).

Natholeon,

That color is amazing!

I ordered three pottles through Relish models in the UK and it cost me NZD 20 dollars(about 16 USD). It was with me within a week. You have to do a minimum order from Hannants themselves. Other UK stores also stock it, so google is your friend.
