I have just started buiding AFV Club's Centurion. I would like to use a spare road wheel as stowage, as is commonly seen in photos but they don't include any spares!
Has anyone out there built built a Centurion using aftermarket wheels and kept the original road wheels in the spares box? If so - could you spare a few? (complete, two halves plus tyre)
I am in the UK - for postage, or I shall be at Bugle Call in Bath on Sunday.

Welcome to Armorama Damian, I can't help with the Cent wheels (I used them), but maybe we'll meet in Bath.

I have a spare wheel from the Aussie kit, having now built a few, and can pass this on. Let me have your address and I will post it on. it will also save you drilling out the centre etc!

Hello,
you get all you need in the AFV Cents boxes i.e. two spare wheels and the rubber tires.

Olivier,
I've now got 14 of the various Centurion kits in the stash. The later kits may have the spares, but the early non Aussie kits did not. Perhaps they're adding them now though.

The IDF Sh'ot Kal '73 kit did not have any extra road wheels included.

Sorry so I'll try to be more precise, the NATO 105mm gun kit has the 2 spare wheels.
