It sorta depends on what years you are modeling.

One of the better discussions I found is at

The page gives you mixes of various brands but the color swatches are matched to time periods. MM #2138 is Sinai Grey. I just bought some.

Other links:

The color seems to have evolved from a sand to a grey. In more recent photos of Merkavas appear a disctinct grey color.

I "THINK" Israeli Sinai Grey matches more the early 80s grey (see

I'm doing the Cent in the 1973 mix from

Lotsa luck. Sorry I didn't get back to you. I'm not interested in trades and I had both offered already, anyway.

Thanks for all the advice and the links.

If you were referring to the two Dragon Panzer kits I had for sale or trade they have both been sold.

I have three of the AFV Centurions. One is a 1967 Sho't. One is a Sho't KAL 1973 and the other is another Sho't KAL 1973 that I'm adding a thermal sleeve gun barrel and reactive armour to to bring it closer to a 1982 version. I have the Academy Merkava II and am ordering the Academy Merkava IV since it appears it is going to be reasonably accurate. I also have the Italeri M-109 -now under construction and have even figured out how I want to display it.
