Paulo,
In the Concord mini color series on the Challenger 1 & 2 it says "...the QDG ( The 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards) Challenger 1 Mk.3's wore a single color (bronze-green) overall paint scheme, not the British Army's standard camoflage of black splotches on a green base." This was in the late 90's in Bosnia. If you can get your hands on this book it has some nice pics of the Challengers during this operation.

hi
if you go http//:www.armoured-engineers.co.uk to photograph album look at gun tanks.

there is a challenger 1 & 2 in the preasnt colour. The Green has changed in teh last two years and it is slightly more greener than the old colour that i loved to hate .the black has stayed the same. in real life the two colours come out with a slight sheen.
but by the time you been around the area it was dirty.
