Israeli Air force camouflage colors

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

To you IAF experts, this is probably a no-brainer. I stupidly threw away my last issue of the Model Aircraft Monthly, but only discovered that sad fact when I got home from the LHS with a handful of old kits of Six day War aircraft- a Mystere IV and a Magister. And a set of Isra decals.

There was an insert written by Testors in the MAM that had a lot of good info about color schemes from the Six Day War. Oh well.

The ??? is this: the earlier camouflage for this era appears to be mid-brown and slate blue over medium grey. The decal set has three color spec.s; two are RAL which seems to be a housepaint and I cannot find a conversion for, and an FS color no one seems to make.

Can you provide Modelmaster or Humbrol or other matching spec.s please?

Here’s a link to a chart that might help.

Thanks, hoot but I’m looking for the old ones pre 1980’s. I do appreciate it though searching that for me. That is a good site for paint to paint matches but I’d never seen the country color lists. Cool!

I know I’m talking to myself…but I did find this which I think closes in on it.
