FPDPenguin Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hey everyone. Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place but I was wondering if anyone could ID this tank. I found it at work and saved it from being melted down (it's pewter) I've hit it with some primer so the detail shows up a bit better. Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of it type etc so I can give it a bit of colour. Thanks 🐧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 It’s a Centurion. No idea of mark though! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion_(tank) Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozothenutter Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Quick Google shows it's probably by 'Royal Hampshire' Lots of pewter with that name about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Jones Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 looks like a copy of the old Dinky Centurion , lots of similarities in the way the side skirts and wheels are moulded, I believe the Dinky model was a MK3 with a 20pdr gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's also a bit of an excuse to scratch build some bits to make it look more like a modern kit 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
