| I think that this is politics more than anything else. A few years back Toys R Us pulled GI Joe Israeli trooper figure from the shelves in the US fearing backlash. The constant vilifying of Israel no matter what it does in the left wing press around the world made Israeli military liveries a taboo subject for diecast models manufacturers.
Kind of ironic, considering that one can get every conceivable SS political and military figure in 1:6 as well as WWII NKVD dude.
Skyhawks, Mirage IIIs, and Centurions are a must in IDF livery considering their historical importance no matter what side of the fence you are on.

Do you remember a year or 2 ago, FOV came out with a Sherman "Battlin' Bitch" and mothers threw such a fit about the use of such a word on Little Johnnies toy that TRU had to hall them all and send them back to China where they were renamed and sent back for sale.
