Hi,
Can anyone tell me, which vehicle is depicted here?
[url=http://www.au104.org/Photo3/images41-45/104Sigs_44-9.jpg[/url]

If the caption "1968" is correct, it had to be 169112 or 169122, according to Accurate Armour's instructions.
I have just bought their Centurion ARV and I have started to cut away the last parts of the fenders like in this picture...

many thanks in advance!

Which site did you pull this photo from Stephen? It is definitely a Centurion ARV...

This one is displayed on the webpage of the 104th Signal Squadron. There are loads of pictures by Australian veterans on the web, it's really worth browsing through them.

This picture is the best I am aware of, but there are some others.

With Australian vehicles in Vietnam there is a problem of historical accuracy, because there were only small numbers of Cent ARVs, of M113 with salading turrets, I think even the list of Centurion MBT is not that long - one has to be careful to be consistent with details and markings, hence my question...
