Early Israeli camo....
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, October 18, 2003 1:42 PM
I have found a side view of a generic camo of green, pale stone/tan? and light gray undersurface. Yellow black Suez Canal Crisis stripes.
can any one suggest FS codes?
The plane is a Ouragan.

Hi There Thyamis,
I know that this may sound a silly question but are you sure that this is an Israeli aircraft?
The reason that I ask is that this is the first indication that I have that Israeli a/c carried the black/yellow Suez stripes. All the aircraft I have photos of wearing these stripes are either French or British.

The colors you are referring to suggest a similarity to the curent paint being worn by the Italer F-16 B/D Viper. Yeah, yeah, i know you are loking at an older plane, but the colors sound liek they match. Try this:
The grey underside is possibly FS 36375 (Light Ghost Grey). The green is FS 34227 (ModelMaster 1716, Pale Green). The pale tan is ModelMaster 1567 (Flat Tan, no FS number). Hope that helps.

One lives and learns. An Insaeeli a/c with the Suez Stripes!
I had better check my references and find out more.
Thanks. Now I have a reason to purchase a couple more books.
