Australian Army Centurion (Vietnam) 2


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

As you may recall, a few months ago I built a Cent for my Dad who is a Vietnam Vet. Well, shortly after I started this second AFV Club 1/35 Centurion for myself, which I have been chipping away at for the past couple of months and finished last weekend.

After market items included a vinyl mantlet cover (AFV Club), tracks (AFV Club), turret basket stowage (Firestorm), steel plate mudguards & stowage bin reinforcement (Mouse House), decals (Mouse House & Arms Corps Models) and water jerries (Mouse House). Some of the tools and the small spot light near the MG were from my spares box. Scratch-built items included search light cover (tissue paper), aerials (styrene rod) and tool box tie down straps, which I made from lead foil.

Thanks for looking

An excellent job! I did my AFV club centurion as an invasion of Suez example and there was not enough opportunity to weather it and muck it up. (we weren't there long enough!) I love your weathered effect - keep up the good work.
