Historical background:
The SLA, or South Lebanese Army, was a paramilitary formation operating in southern Lebanon from 1976 to 2000. The unit made extensive use of armored vehicles, including M50 Super Sherman tanks – modernized variants of the Sherman sourced from Israeli surplus. They were renowned for their role in combat against PLO units and Hezbollah during the civil wars and the Israeli-Lebanese conflict. The tanks stood out for their unusual paint schemes and unique markings created by the SLA, making them especially attractive to advanced modelers and military history enthusiasts.

The Star Decals 35-C1280 set offers a complete range of tactical signs, side numbers, unit markings, and characteristic SLA inscriptions, faithfully reproduced based on photographic documentation and military archives. The decals feature precise, legible printing and excellent color quality, ensuring every model attains an authentic, realistic appearance.

The product is particularly recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level: 2/5) who wish to accurately replicate SLA vehicles from the late 20th century. It is also an invaluable base for Cold War-era historical dioramas and for expanding collections of unusual Middle Eastern tanks and APCs.
