Israeli AF Paint Set

Standard colours of Israeli aircraft in 1970s

After the Six-Day War the long used brown and blue over grey scheme of Israeli AF applied to ground support aircraft was regarded as not appropriate for operations over Sinai. In July 1967 a new painting scheme of FS33531 Sand, FS34227 Pale Green and FS30219 Dark Tan over? FS35622 Duck Egg Blue was revealed. It was later known as "1970's desert scheme".

A-4H/N Skyhawks used FS34258 Green instead of FS34227, while several Mirage IIIs interceptors in 1970 still used an overall natural metal finish.

The Orange Line paints are specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners. It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use. All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
