Thank you, Robbo! So for this build I used MIG-0132 "Real IDF Sand Grey." This is a great color for IDF vehicles from the '67 and '73 wars as they had more of a yellowish shade during that time frame. If you have a Merkava, that would be in a different color. The IDF transitioned to a color called "Sinai Grey" in the 80's and then to some different shades from the 90's to the present that have more of an Olive Drab tint to them. AK Interactive actually makes all the IDF colors and differentiates them by decade on the label to assist with picking the right one.

I did some more work on the Centurion and I did some post shading and color modulation with a lightened shade of the MIG '73 Sand Grey. After that, I sprayed Tamiya Smoke on all the panel lines and raised/recessed areas for depth. Next will be some Gloss Varnish for decals followed by weathering and stowage.
