AK Interactive - Israeli Air Force Colors SET 3G

This set of eight 3rd Generation acrylic paints is essential for painting models of most of the aircraft used by the Israeli Air Force from the late 1960s, onwards.

After the Six Day War, the Israeli Air Force introduced a camouflage scheme consisting of an upper surface pattern of FS 30219 Dark Tan, FS 33531 Sand and FS 34227 Green, with the undersides in FS 35622 Light Blue. This desert scheme remained a standard for most of the IAF tactical aircraft and helicopters until the early 1980s, although many tactical aircraft introduced in the 1970s, such as the F-4E, carried this scheme until the end of their service. An exception were the A-4H/N, whose manufacturer used a different green tone for the camouflage pattern, ie. FS 34258 Green. The air superiority grey scheme, consisting of FS 36320 Dark Ghost Grey and FS 36375 Light Ghost Grey, was introduced with the entry of the F-15A/B at the end of 1976, for all aircraft assigned to high altitude missions, including the Kfir C2, E-2C and RF-4E. With the delivery of the first F-16s in 1980, the standard desert scheme for combat aircraft was modified by replacing the FS 34227 Green with WWII RAF Sky (FS 34424), and FS 35622 Light Blue with FS 36375 Light Ghost Grey, respectively. This modified scheme was later applied to the Kfir C7 and late C2 variants, and the F-15I.
