Working on mine as I type. Upper and lower hull halves done; glued the troop hatch closed; but it looks incredibly well made and would look great if you add the interior.

It’s not easy to match IDF color perfectly. As You can see on these pictures the color starts from yellow through grey and greenish. Sometimes is hard to find two vehicles painted in the same colour. Sometimes base color is different, sometimes it is diffrent light, fading from the sun exposition, dust etc.

Know what you mean. I don’t sweat the colors. Just get something close and let the weathering do its thing.
