I just received the Lifecolor Israeli Combo Set. It contains 3 pigments and 3 acrylic paints. So far so good! The problem begins with the paints which are the following:
(1)UA 901 IDF Sandgrey 1
(2)UA 902 IDF Sandgrey 2
(3)UA 903 IDF Green
The instructions in the back of the box mention nothing for the first, for the second that is the color of Lebanese war and '70-'80-'90 and the third, the green one indicates the today color for Merkava, Achrazit and Nagmachon. This is were the confusion begins! Are the nowadays Merkavas painted in green color???? I thought that the main color of Merkavas is a sandy yellow which is close to the first (UA901) while the second (UA902) is more brown sandy. See the following thread's picture: http://www.militarymodelling.com/news/article/israeli-paint-and-pigment-combo-set/13020. Am i correct or am i confused? Any help is welcome!

Hi,you could try there but I ment the armorama forum,go to the armour forum at the top of the page you will see various sub sections like Vietnam german ww2 and so on thats where the IDF section is, click on it and you get all the postings to do with IDF subjects, very helpful as the guys who use it are very knowlegeable about their subject.

Me again,Ive been looking around some other sites and found a review on this paint set.The Green is the colour for your latest Merkava,the light colour is for the early years super shermans,next colour is for 1970s to around the 1980s M60s and early Merkavas.That isnt a complete list of course but just to give you an idea, hope it helps
