What's inside

The book is divided into a historical and a modelling section. The historical introduction presents a wide range of IDF armour across the decades, providing background and reference material for modelling work. The modelling section features the work of five modellers — Mig Jiménez, Lucas Zaromitidis, Michal Dostál, Rick Lawler and Allon Kira — who show how to paint and weather Israeli vehicles in various camouflage schemes.

The chapters illustrate many painting techniques and effects that can be applied to Israeli vehicles from different periods. The material is supported by step-by-step photographs.

Who it's for

The publication is aimed at modellers interested in Israeli armour and in vehicle painting and weathering techniques. It works as a reference while building specific IDF models, and as a source of inspiration and techniques for other projects. The text is published in French only.

About the subject – IDF armour:

The conflicts and tensions between Israel and its neighbours are one of the key threads for understanding the geopolitics of the last century. Since the country's independence in 1948, the IDF has used a very wide range of armoured vehicles — from machines obtained from various sources to heavily modified and locally developed designs. This variety, together with the dynamic evolution of Israeli equipment over the decades, has long attracted modellers' attention.
