I found revell's unimog in 1/35 scale so i have few questions.
On the pics i saw configurations with two and four doors-the revell one has 2
So here are the questions
Does anyone know when and in what number did thez arrive in Israel
Most of unimog's i saw are white-is that some kinda winter camo or red cross
Anyone knows which changes do i need to maket to make a accurate unimog??
is there any pe sets,or resin conversions for this unimog?
And where can i find their number plastes as decals?
And for the and-here are some pictures.













I would be thankful for any info,pics etc.

Cheers,Sven

They might be whats considered here "council trucks" ie not military vehicles and used by local authorities for general purpose work..

Very interesting photos all the same, I'm looking forward to some explanations of these Unimogs!

MR Modell makes some AM wheel sets for Revell's Unimog:

Did you see this thread Sven ?

Judging by the red Star of David on the BV 206, these trucks may belong to the Magen David Adom.(Red Cross in Israel)....

Rare subject, military police? Engineering?
I have been concerned about its process.

since now from the info we have its most possible that these are used by red cross based in Golan heights.

Dear friends,

Not red cross, not civilian Magen-David-Adom (MADA).

These vehicles are part of the Mount Hermon "Alpinist" unit, active mostly during the winter.
The vehicles with the red star of david, are used as military snow ambulances, or evacuation vehicle as we call them.

The red star of david insignia is adapted by the army, although it is a civilian mark, but this is the end of similarity.

Hope it is more clear.
