This set of Real Colors lacquer based paints contains the three standard colors used for painting Israeli Defence Forces vehicles and equipment from its foundation until today. IDF Early Sand Yellow was the standard color of IDF vehicles and military equipment during the 1950s and 1960s (including the Six Day War), it was widely used until the Yom Kippur War in 1973, on tanks such as the AMX-13, Shermans, early M48 Pattons and the majority of the Centurion (Sho’t). Later it was still in use in the south and the Sinai Peninsula. After the 1973 war, more IDF land forces were positioned in the northern frontiers and their vehicles received a darker tone, a Sand Grey, which was more suitable for blending with the greyish terrain color of the north of Israel. IDF Modern Grey is the currently used paint introduced in May 1981.
