Hi Rob just joined site. re enquiry about Centurions in Germany 1050s, i crewed a centurion during last 2 years in service and they were painted a Gloss Bronze Green at that time, we used brushwood and grass turf to camouflage them when in the field, it made the tanks easy to clean, may have been painted a matt green in last few weeks of service. If you look at the Dinky Centurion its an accurrate colour, also British racing green is colse. Hope this helps you all be it a little late. Regards John Moore ps also crewed Chieftain, Challenger and cvrts
