Hi. My searches on different internet browsers for IDF use of the Toyota FJ43 have turned up only a couple of pictures on the AK Interactive website, and no information whatsoever. Can anyone please point me to any internet references or images of this vehicle used by the IDF in Operation Peace for Galilee? The AK Interactive kit has painting instructions for different “Early” and “Late” vehicles with and without front doors, so they must have found references somewhere. Thanks for your interest and any information you can provide.
Best regards,
Pete
The IDF never used them that’s why there are no phots, the only photos that exist are of captured ones pressed into service in Operation peace for Galilee in 82.
So they were used. Captured yes, but repainted, marked, registered and used like any other IDF vehicle. Even in the Yom Kippur War there was at least one unit already in use.
