Ooh - yes please to the tracks!! I've got a couple of the masterbox ones in the stash somewhere.

A 1/35 Verlinden US vietnam figure off ebay for £4. I know there's better and more accurate sculpts out there but I always wanted these in my youth. Sadly could never afford them on my paper round money!

I recently assembled a set of heavy hobbys (voyager) 3d printed T54E1 tracks. A bit fragile but looked the part. I picked them up from aliexpress for about £16 + £3ish postage.

Its most certainly better!! Outstanding I'd say. Just need a cockpit to the same standard now . All the best

Oooh that looks like another lot of very useful parts. I've got the fuselage correction amd undercarriage set from your good self and they are superb. Really enjoying watching this come together. Ben

That's a beautiful build 👍

Stunning work John and an enjoyable read with my morning coffee! Looking forward to seeing the paint go on. All the best Ben

Hi John Amazing build as usual. I can recommend these if you need more periscope guards: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115513223357?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nwb_F-BPQNi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=gKCxPngSRVK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Looking forward to the next update Ben

A set of 1/35 Echelon decals for a Vietnam M113 and an unboxed Dragon 1/72 Sd.kfz 261 (which turns out to be a bit of a dog of a kit and will need a fair bit of work to correct / add missing details).

Looking great - have the S-400 in the stash myself and its a fair size even in 1/72!

Stunning build!! I have a part started, mostly painted one in the stash but stalled because the decals are rather yellowed and cracked. Will investigate decalpool as even if they are not great at least I can then finish off the kit.

Having recently looked at this kit then put it back into the stash I can testify as to how much work you have put into this! Simply stunning!! Well done indeed.

Ooh - they would be very useful if possible. I might have some but they'll only be from a phone. Many thanks Ben

Thanks for the input @Kingsmanand @SleeperService. My centaur is a mkii with the improved turret. I have a photo of this with the sloping fenders which I'll add to the model. I'll go with SCC.15 for this. The crusader is the AA mkiii with 20mm oerlikons. Still tempted with SCC.2. Kind regards Ben

More confusion - @Kingsman posted on here a year or two ago that the Centaur AAs were all new builds (and very helpfully mentioned they were all flat engine decks 👍). Try as I might I can't find any dates of production to try and pin down a colour.
