Israeli Af-Mod Rotors

Standard colours of Israeli helicopters since late 1970s

The so-called "1970's desert scheme" was used on IAF helicopters until 1979 (except for AH-1s in Olive Drab), when "Tactical Battlefield" scheme of overall FS30099 was adopted.

During 1982 Lebanon War, due to identification problems, yellow "V" symbol was applied to all helicopters with any paint available (later standardized to FS33434).

After the conflict, due to IAF's request, helicopters were repainted to lighter FS30145 colour.

AH-64s and UH-60A/Ls initially wore original US colour (FS34031), until introduction in the early 2000s of the so-called "Tiger" camouflage scheme.

The Orange Line paints are specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners. It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use. All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
