What time frame was the Magach 3 with Blazer ERA used? The Dragon instructions give 2 examples in 1967, which seems wrong. I am trying to figurebout what the proper paint color should be. Thanks.

ERA was in answer to the ATGM used in 1973.

IDF started experimenting with ERA in 1967 with the help of Dr Manfred Held and the first tanks with ERA that were used in action were in the 1982 Lebanon war.

My guess would be that you need post 1975 paint for your model.
