Hi I'm hoping some one can help with this, are far as I was aware the Centauro has not been fielded in a sand colour camo then I found this photo while searching the web.

Can any one tell me what shade of sand is used on this?

There was two centauro in sand color in Egypt in 2002 for testing the vehicle.

Hi;

Pale Sand Grey, I think Model Master still has it in there range of paints. Tamiya mite have a close color also, Testors also. And it should be easy too Mix and Match too get the correct shade.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Cheers Mike I'll look around and see what I can find. It'll be nice to have one Centauro that's not green or white.
