The Bell 206 has served with the IAF since 1951 and goes by the Hebrew nickname “Syphan” (Flower).   

Hobby Color paint H-72 Dark Earth (brown) was used to finish the model.  Most IAF helicopters use this colour.

For markings, IsraDecals IAF-10 (yellow chevrons) and IAF-03 L&M Transport Helicopters were used.   The IAF-10 sheet is comprehensive, containing decals for every type of helicopter that has served or is serving in the Israeli Air Force. The markings I chose are for the flight school, 1992. 

Enjoy the pictures.
