I've had a load of the AFV Club Centurions for quite a while now and have wanted an excuse to get started.
The Leicester Modellers Boxing Day Build Club this year has given me the opportunity to get this 2006 release started - a bit late!
My choice of build for this time will be to use the upgraded 105mm gun barrel.
I do have another of these and the 20pdr version will come later.
The Horstmann suspension has an A & B set so watch how you fit them
Also made a start on the lower hull which is extremely well molded and a great fit to the parts.
Whilst not exactly on the rare list, with the advent of a host of new products being released, IDF Armour is starting to become more popular.
