Anybody have a recipe for that bluish grey color of Lebanese tanks. Preferably Tamiya but something from the Model Air line would also work for me. Also, in what time frame was that color used? Thanks.

This is an informative build thread here on the topic of color.

I checked the thread but other than the paint used there was nothing more specific about the mix ratios, etc. Tried the link in that thread but site is no longer active. Thanks.

AK Interactive have an "SLA Blue", AK794. I can't comment on its accuracy as I haven't tried to use it yet.

rjc_rbnj's Tamiya color recipe for "SLA Grey" is the second to the last post in this thread.

BTW, Have you posted this question in the Яusso-Soviэt Forum?
I was holding off posting my recipe for SLA Grey because I wasn't sure if it was accurate. I've only built one SLA model in the "Blue" and I'm no expert of the history of the conflict. I just followed what looked right from magazine print ref I have.
I used Tamiya color on this and the colors used is called out starting from the sixth post in this thread.
