which Tamyia Acrylic Paint need to use for IDF Merkava IV ???

Richard,
Tamiya's got nothing like this straight out of the bottle. You'll have to make your own mix.
If I'm correct there should be a Sinai Grey in the Vallejo or Model Master ranges of acrylic paint.
Hopefully some IDF gurus will pop up and be more helpful that I can be

MM Acryl Israeli Sand Gray. MM has the enamel also.

"Lifecolor UA035 Israeli Sandgrey" is the exact thing IMHO, though it is kinda hard to find..

I use different paints depending on how the vehicle looks in the reference photos and mix them accordingly.

Most modern IDF vehicles have a green greyish and I haven't found a "out of the bottle" so this is what I use.

First mix:
Tamiya: one part XF- 20, one part XF- 57, one part XF- 27 and one part XF- 49

Gives


Second mix:
Humbrol 72, 155 and 159 at a ratio of 1:1:1

Gives


Third:
Humbrol: 84
Use as a base and add filters and washes to get the desired effect.

Gives


Last:
Tamiya six parts XF-25, three parts XF -62 and one part XF-65

Gives


Hoop that helps a bit.

Just wanted to add that the redness in the image is just because of lighting in this on



It is a brown/green shade that looks like the colour on the Namer
