A small set of shades for the armored equipment of the Israeli army, from the olive machines of the sixties to the sandy gray tone of the desert campaigns.
Responsibility details are not available.
Israeli tank units went into the first great battles still in the olive finish inherited from foreign deliveries. Experience in the desert showed, however, that a deep green machine glows in sandy country, and so during the seventies a light sandy gray tone came to the fore and became the mark of Israeli equipment for decades. In shadow it looks almost gray; in direct sun it turns markedly yellow.
It is worn by the heavy domestic tank with the engine at the front and the unusual door in the rear, by rebuilt British and American types, by armored personnel carriers built on captured chassis and by engineer and artillery equipment. In older photographs of the fighting of 1973 you can, on the other hand, find machines still in the olive finish, sometimes with sections hastily oversprayed after repair, so both states make sense side by side.
Light desert tones look flat unless they are supported by a difference between horizontal and vertical surfaces. It works to darken the base slightly and to lighten the upper armor, then to add dust into the seams and to bring out the edges with a dry blade. The paints are flat, so pigments and an oil wash sit on them well; it is sensible, though, to fix the vehicle with a gloss coat before weathering. The finishing touch is a trace of fine light dust sprayed from below upward to the height of the running gear and around the exhaust.
