I've been planning to paint up some 15mm NI (well, SemFed, my
undeveloped NI offshoot).

Vehicles are going to be in a desert camouflage scheme of some sort,
possibly a blue / sand / grey scheme based on one the 8th Army used on
Matildas (see photos in http://www.military.cz/panzer/indsk/mat2sk.htm
and http://www.shadowsfolly.com/wwii/Britain/Matilda.htm)

Rather than putting the full blue and white NI flag on the side of
vehicles, which might be a bit of a 'please shoot me here' fire magnet,
I'd thought of using a low visibility black outline Star of David
device. There would be a small national flag on the rear of each vehicle
somewhere.

Of course this is all wishful thinking, I haven't done any of it yet ...
