AFV-Decals Article by Doug Chaltry; last updated 2 February 2008.
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. Specific Sherman variants in the set include:
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 almost perfect. Thank you to AFV-Decals (now Bison Decals) for the review sample. |
