IDF Armor - Part 1, The 1948-73 Wars

AFV-Decals (# 7208)

What a diverse set! The Israelis certainly used a wide variety of equipment during their early wars, and this set provides markings for 22 vehicles, some of which I never knew were used by the IDF, such as the Hotchkiss 39. Although 1/72nd scale is missing a Centurian (I believe there are several in 1/76th), most of the others are available in resin or plastic, or are easily converted.

The scan above has had its contrast altered to make the white more visible, so the actual decals are a little more colorful, with some dark blue and orange markings. Notice the hand-painted appearance of several of the markings.

Like all of the AFV-Decals, these are very well printed, very thin, and registration is perfect.

Thank you to AFV-Decals for the review sample.
