Hi guys,

I'm looking to start an Israeli air force project, and don't know which brand/colours/techniquesto use for painting.... I'm completely new to this, so any help is much appreciated!

ALso, I'm looking to work on modern IRIAF, Iraqi and Egyptian air force planes in the near future too, and wondering about colours and brands to use for them as well,

Thanks :-)

Most of the major paint brands make IAF colors. They match U.S. Federal Standard numbers as follows:

Brown: 30219
Sand: 33531
Green: 34422 (actually matches Sky Type S pretty well)
Lt. Gray: 36622

These are the colors for F-16s and F-15Is, which is what I assume you're looking for. F-15A,B,C and Ds carry standard early USAF color schemes of:

Lt. Ghost Gray: 36357
Dk. Ghost Gray: 36320

Hope this helps!

Michael

Hi,
Just noticed that AMMO has released new set for IAF desert colors, if this will be helpful:

I'm sure that other brands (Lifecolor,Vallejo etc.) also have the needed colors

Cheers!
