Very nice!👍 The weathering is perfect. This piece should be presented on a vignette.

Tiran right next to the Merk looks like it's little sister! Looking nice Heico, another one baked under the desert sun.

Wow, the comparison between the different tanks. What a collection, Heico!
As per my opinion you got the IDF colours just right. I like your ant-slip coating. Looks great. 👍

Thanks gentlemen.
Ulf Petersen: I know, but i don't have the space for that sadly.
Izek Zdorovyak: That's a nice photo. It is a Mk 3D late.
Murad Özer: Yes, Tiran looks like a joke compared to Merkava haha.
Frank Krause: I always like comparing the tanks for size 🙂
I used this paint for it: [img1]
The anti slip coating was done with embossing powder.

The same paint I used for my Merkava as well when I built it. Great paint to use when you get the feel for it.

Now I have to find that colour as enamel paint. Lifecolor might work good with an airbrush, but I'm still using hairbrush.😉 Any ideas are welcome.

@Frank: humbrol 84 right outta tin is probably the most suitable one. HOWEVER it might not be what you are looking for if you think Heico's lifecolor is 'the' color for IDF vehicles...

Thanks for the hint, Murad. I've got it in my stash and will try it.

The Humbrol 84 is indeed what is mentioned as right for IDF on the IDF forum, but i have never tried it. The Lifecolor is one of my favorites. I also like this mix by Tamiya: one part XF- 20, one part XF- 57, one part XF- 27 and one part XF- 49.

israel is a big enough country to experience vast differences in climate and geography, hence the same color weathering differently depending on the territory. which is a good thing for it leaves a lot of leeway to us when determining the shade... 🙂
