Magach 6

[tankme]

John, your first post reads "My tongue M60W (Magach 6)." Something makes me think that a "spell checker" helped you because it didn't approve of "Tongde." Sometimes spell checkers make the most enjoyable mistakes.

Your M60W appears to be in Isreali green; whereas, I also see that there is an Isreali gray. Am I seeing your M60 correctly? (I am a bit color blind.) I know I recently saw somewhere (where, poor memory, where?) that there are or have been several Israeli colors. I did not see any dates associated with the use of the various colors.

They did use a bunch of different colors depending on the time period.

Thank you! That is useful. I can see that the information comes off of a paint set, not Vallejo...

I couldn't find a chart like that from Vallejo. It was off a Hataka brand set which I've never heard of, but it at least it gives some explanation of the different shades used.

And since I got the blessing from Rich Johnson to repost this pic, here's the current IDF color for the Merkava showin a little belly armor.

That’s almost a field grey with a shade of German panzer grey in it for those who want to mix up a batch .
