ancientmariner Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi, I am about to start the above model. Anyone any idea of the correct desert colour? I have humbrol acrylic 93 which is matt desert yellow, it looks to be quite close, but not too sure. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 CR2's used a stone based camo in the gulf. If you google image search Bovington Tank Museum Challenger 1 that should bring up pictures of the preserved in running condition example of the then Major Denero Chally which is a close match to Gulf CR2's Hope this helps.

ancientmariner Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks very much. I have some Humbrol acrylic no 93, which according to humbrol is matt desert yellow. I have done a test colour with this, and I would say that it is the correct colour, so just going to use this. I do intend getting the Tamiya Challenger 2 model, as I am not overly impressed with Trumpeter, although I have been told that the trumpeter Challenger 2 was an early model and apparently trumpeter are much better now.

Roger I think you will find that he was a Lt Col and not a major..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
