Hi Gang,Does anyone know of an IDF armour timeline ?,specifically what tanks where used in what campaigns.
It would be useful to know so i could match the right colours to the right tanks,any help is gratefully appreciated.

Hi
I think you will need to be a bit more specific as there is a lot of overlap and various on going up grades to take into account but as a start here goes.
1948
Cromwell, Hotchkiss ,Sherman didnt play big part most armour was armoured cars either homemade whites dodges cmp c15ta or captured acquired marmon herrington humber daimler
1956
Sherman various types, Amx13
1967
Sherman various M1,M50,M51, Centurions, M48 types uncluding some upgraded Amx13
1973
Centurions both meteor and upgraded, m48 upgraded, m60, m60a1, Shermans M50,M51 M1 dozers, Ti67
1982
Centurions upgraded, M48,M60,M60a1, M60a3 Merkavas mk1,mk2, Ti67s
Not every tank would have been at the same level of upgrade as its a continual process so you can see a mixture at any one time.
Others may have more info.

Thanks for the reply peter,that`s a big help.I know the IDF rarely throws anything away but when i know what tanks were fighting when it makes it easier to match paints.
On the IDF in scale site it gives dates as to what went on when but not on what !.
Cheers Mate.
