I asked the same questions on forums a while back. I'm afraid I didn't get much help though. I did decide on the two sets by Orion or Mars (can't remember which) for Israelis, and decide on the Imex K.P.A. with revell Russian heads for Syrians. I know the Israelis wore olive type uniforms and some french "lizard" camo. I'm sorry I can't help much but I have greatly enjoyed the period. BTW the Syrians are on my blog :-D

Your osprey collection is like you gun collection...impressive mate :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers mate much appericated :thumbup:

I was thinking of using those very sets myself (IMEX KPA and ESCI WARSAW PACT). I reckon I could almost use ESCI WW2 Brits for the Jordians at a pinch.
