Hello!

While working on a Tiger I am currently working on after a build hiatus due to a month-long family emergency/hospitalization, I took a break from the build.

Just completed my Merkava IV LIC (HobbyBoss), and started to paint with the Lifecolor UA903 Shade from their IDF Paint Set. Now, seeing the size of this beast, and the amount op paint it will take between base coat, and different highlights, I was thinking of purchasing more of these paints; mind you, I have other IDF kits, so the extras would be put to use on these modern vehicles as well.

Can anyone advise where I can purchase the UA 903 color individually? I have searched, but all I can see is basically the paint sets containing this color, but not individually.

Thank you tons!

I'm not sure if the paint is available individually. But Lifecolor has a really nice IDF tone... I think it is IDF Sandgrey 82. I used it in my build and I liked how it looks.

Also, Mission Models has two slightly different IDF colors which look good to my eye. The MMP brand is new and they use a proprietary polyurethan acrylic formula which alows much easier handling than Lifecolor.

UA 903 says it is IDF Green. Would that be the same or similar to UA 119 Israeli Green?

Unfortunately many retailers do not stock the set colors separately,but you can always buy them directly from LC, Astromodel's in the owner of Lifecolors

I've been trying to find a single color from set's that was not on their web page, I contacted them and they sent me
