Or maybe this qualifies as IDF live training aids. I am going to be starting up a Syrian T-55 (to go with my Sho't Kal) in about a week. What colors are closest to the 3 color scheme ..... sand/ green/ grey .... I have heard MM Mid-stone for the tan. MM Euro green for the green, though that looks way off ... too bluish. Grey ?????? Also, totally unrelated .... anybody have an MG-3 / MG 42 looking for a good home? Also in need off modern packs, coolers , ration/food/beverage boxs and brickabrak for a middle east special ops vehicle.

I'll check the Mig stuff. I know AK has a Middle East war set but they are IDF and Lebanese colors.

Mig does have a Syrian paint set but instead of Grey they have Red Brown. I have always read that Grey was used, but in all the color photos that I find, it seems to be Red Brown. Which one is correct???

There is a Yom Kippur war camo set by MIG with a grey colour for a Syrian camo scheme. http://www.migjimenez.com/en/acrylic-sets/193-set-yom-kippur-war-colors-.html

Thanks all. I seem to remember reading that the Syrians did not use brown (at least in quantetee) till after YK. Most of the photos Ive seen are Israel, and the Syrian tanks are mostly camoed in rust and soot!
