Now to decide which scheme I'ma gonna do :idonno
Ok fellas, Seein' how I aint got any IDF paints on hand, Which colors are close enuff?
 
Scheme #1:

This scheme uses the same grey as used on the tactical grey schemes on USN aircraft. FS36320 (Dark Ghost Grey) & FS36375 (Light Ghost Grey). Testors MM line uses the FS numbers for a quick & accurate match.

Admittedly it's not as cool looking as the standard Late Strike Israeli camo.



Scheme #2 FS numbers to cross reference Model Master paint.

Kfir Israeli Late Strike Camo

FS 33531 (Sand)
FS 34424 (Medium Grey?, but it's actually more of a green. No Model Master available. Tamiya XF-30 exists though)
FS 30219 (Dark Tan)
FS 36375 (Lt Ghost Grey)



A couple charts I've found:

IPMS Color Reference Chart
JPR Color Cross-reference Charts
 
I've added the Scheme #1 info into the above post as well so it's in one spot for ya. ;)
 
Ok fellas, here she sits as of a few mins ago.

Have a little seam work to do but, not too much :D
I'm starting to lean towards Paint scheme#2 but, don't have XF-30. What would be a "close enuff" stand in? :idonno
 
Whatever you got that's a grey/green. Or even mix up some Lt Ghost Grey w/ some Medium Green (USAF Vietnam).
