True. A mishmash of uniforms and equipment was very common during the first 20 years. It is entirely possible to depict an IDF soldier from that period wearing French uniform, British helmet, armed with a German Kar89k rifle riding an American M3 Halftrack.

Thanks, but I probably won’t make it that crazy
Mind you, that’s because I don’t have any French figures or German rifles in my stash…

@bwilt for your idf paratroopers are you going to do them in a camo scheme or in a solid colored uniform?
Don’t know yet, as I have seen pictures of both…

Sorry for the off-top, but I have a question: white stripes painted on IDF vehicles were used for quick identification, did they have any other meaning ??

They’re air recognition markings. The white rings on tank barrels mark the battalion number (1,2 or 3) within a given brigade.
