I built this Centurion by using the L7 105mm gun (featured as a bonus in the box), separate individual Centurion tracks set #AF35102 and last an extra mantlet cover (which happened to be hard to fit actually). I used one book as reference but I admit that I took some liberties sometimes with the original. So there must be plenty of things which are not correct (to the eyes of the expert) but what mattered to me was to have lots of fun during the build and to put it into a nice background (I am an avid fotographer).










Hope you enjoyed the pics !

I really dig the way you incorporated photos of the kit into the backgrounds. That is very well done for the most part, although in some photos the model appears a little elongated due to lens distortion. I'd suggest photographing from farther away and zooming in to alleviate the problem.
I love the weathering on the roadwheels. Very subtly and nicely done.
The build looks good, but you'll need to rotate the main gun 180 gegrees. The "fatter" part of the bore evacuator goes on top.
