I built this kit a couple of years ago ...If I remember correctly I mixed Tamiya buff with flat yellow and white to get the right color ...But check your references as different Challengers had different sand colors ....Here's a picture of how mine turned out ....

The Osprey modeling book on the Challenger provides a mix using Tamiya paints as follows:

Three parts XF60 + one part XF3
