I've just finished building AFV Clubs Centurion Mk 5/1 and thought i'd post some images for comment as Charles Young has just shown me how to do it . I'm probably going to add more weathering , mainly to the tracks .
I found the kit to be fantastic . I added some Mouse House stowage in the turret bin , canvas mantlet cover and star picket boot scrapers to the track guards . As well as the U.S survey stakes as strengthening to the side stowage boxes as seen on many Cents in Vietnam . The tank is built as Buku Boom Boom ARN169007 B Squadron 1969 . Some artistic licence here as i dont know if all these modifications were carried out on this particular machine .




comment welcome

Very nice. The only problem and I had the same problem is the bowing in the tracks, but otherwise looks very good.

Hi Brett , quite right about the tracks , they are so tight . I started with the AFV Club link and length tracks but botched trying to sand off the two ejector pin marks on the inner face of every link . I like AFV Club kits , Thanks for looking .
