have about 10 pics very diabolical while it was serving in Vietnam
ill find them and post them up if keen

if anybody needs a walk a rounds of a Aussie centurion i can provide them of my own personal centurion tank that i own it served 3 tours in Vietnam, and still has 99% of its mods


Please post them.

Man I'd love to ride in your tank sometime. I'm insanely jealous of those that can buy a tank or aircraft. It must cost some dollars to maintain.... what else can I say...

If anyone intends building one, I'd recommend using roughly 70% Tamiya Khaki Drab with 30% Buff and maybe a touch of yellow. I used khaki drab only, but later used this paint mixture to paint the 'Australian' (British) water cans. This colour looks closer to the photos of cents in Vietnam.



the Khaki drab only looks pretty damn good the way its been weathered down..

Im in the process of doing an m113 fsv myself and i think im going to take a leaf out of your book and try khaki drab. One question tho... what colours did you use on the crewman? Ive been struggling to get a realistic aussie uniform colour, its always either too dark or too green.. ive tried all types of mixes and straight from the can stuff too.. tried vallejo olive green, olive drab, uniform , even games workshops light green camo, and cant get it right..

any suggestions would be appreciated
