HL-10 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 This is Amusing Hobbies 1/35th scale Centurion AVRE from the first Gulf War. A straight forward kit, no real dramas. Tracks are individual link, click together and they are "de-sprued" so are simplicity itself. Stowage is from the spares box as are the figures. The driver is a Tamiya item, the other two are white metal figures who's origin completely escapes me! Painted with Xtracolor enamels. Thanks for looking Angelo 49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRK Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Looks great and I had no idea that this beast was even a thing- not saying much though! Agree that the stowage work is excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Lovely job, nicely dusty. I wasn't aware the Centurion AVRE had been kitted, looks like a nice kit. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernst Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Great model, I love the subtle dusty appearance. The flag and the words on the barrel give it a lot of personality, Cheers, Ernst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modeler8522 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Looks fantastic! I've not built mine as yet but received the AfV club AVRE today! People prefer the wheels in the afv club kit but I liked them better on the the first centurion with the 17 pounder I built with the solid plastic wheels better! Doesn't take long to bottom a coupe weld beads especially if using archers resin welds on the wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjbartos Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 That is a beautiful piece of work, wonderfully painted and so much detail to look at. Really well done...👍 Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Scuffer Al Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Good job well done 👍 Built one of these myself, cos my brother was on the 1:1 scale version in the Gulf War. Edited October 17, 2022 by Big Scuffer Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithGrossett Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 My AFV club AVRE arrived today too. This will be my second AFV kit. Is it worth spending another £22 on the separate hush puppy track links, when most of the "sag" will be concealed behind the side panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
