Can anyone tell me what colors to use/mix for a 1:35 Challenger 2 used in Operation Telic. Would prefer Tamiya Acrylics because they are the easiest to get here. Thanks in advance.
I used the British Gulf War/Light Stone from MM. Sorry about the Tamiya stuff. No idea.
on the Tamiya Challenger 2 kit it says TS-46 Light sand, thats a spray can?
i bet thats no help?
I might have to do mine in black and green
Tamiya dont do the correct mid stone colour, hence recommend the closest colour, light sand. I wouldnt worry too much though as this was only a temporary scheme and weathered very quickly, meaning that it wont look too bad if you add lots of weathering
A good source of OP TELIC pics is

Thanks Scorn, Captain Caveman, saddler, chrisuk. Great photos chrisuk and thanks for the link saddler. I have the Trumpeter 1:35 kit and it says Gunze Sangyo H313 80% + H1 White 20%. I already built the Dragon 1:72 Challenger 2 and it recommends Gunze Sangyo H66 (RLM Sand Brown) but it obviously was not the right color even after adding white for scale effect.
