jimbob1974 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Hi all This is my Tamiya Centurion mkIII, its a kit i would covert as a kid and spend what seemed hours looking at in its box in my now long gone local model shop window. I built it mostly OOB apart from Jerry can holder and handles I also added the cabling from the smoke discharges and grab handles and tie down loops. It does have the interior but not shown in the pics, the track came assembled (thank god) I don't normally bother with the figures as im not that good at them but had a go (so no giggling) The kit is painted in the Libyan desert scheme feel free to comment Edited May 5, 2015 by jimbob1974 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimHead23 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I too drooled over this in the local model shop window as a child! Nice to see one made up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclure Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Great job. My hat is always off to you AFV modellers for the weathering skills you have. Super to look at. One thing though. There's only one "s" is desert, unless you really did paint this with some sort of sandy blancmange! Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Roger thanks Roger, what second S . not just trying to blow sunshine but I've built plenty of aircraft and ship's I cant weather. weathering AFV's is easy this one was just a very watered down XF-59 Desert Yellow and sprayed on with the airbrush until the tank was soaked and running off then just left to dry leaving that dusty look but you do have to seal the paint job with a matt varnish first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
