John_W Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) OOB. Still needs .50 cal adding, plucking up the courage to fold the etched mount. First time weathering with pastels. Very pleased with the effect. Drilled the hatch pins to make them work just for the fun of it. Canvas mantlet from self adhesive aluminium tape.

Basosz Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 That's very nice. The AFV Club Cent is a really nice one to build. The PE .50 mount really isn't too bad, but mine would have benefited from a nice folding tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shermaniac Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I like what I see - it looks a lot bigger than 1/35th scale too I have several AFV Club Cent's to build - did you come across any 'issues' with/during the build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working suspension was a bit of a pig. Followed the instructions for the tow cables and they came up a little short Cut a circle out of plastic card and used the hole as a "hard mask" for spraying the wheels and tyres. Tracks didn't glue with anything. Ended up using a stapler and hiding the joint behind the side armour. Loads of spare bits on the sprues though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take my time with the suspension and the tow cables are always the last thing I put on a kit before weathering anyway but to know they're a little 'short' helps loads I have the Indy Track by AFV Club to replace the banded versions so that should solve that issue. Spares, you can never have enough Will hopefully start my first Cent shortly - This years Christmas build I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Everything is brilliant, hope to see it with the 50 cal soon. Small note - Cent exhaust outlet is horizontal and points slightly outward as this linked picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
