Hi,

I have Tamiya 1/25 Centurion kit. After 2 years of being away from the bench due to family/work reasons I am going to finally build this thing.

Tried searching on here and other sites but having trouble finding the info I am looking for.

What is the colour of the engine? I recall reading somewhere that it was duck egg blue? Does that sound right?

I am assuming the engine bay was in silver like the rest of the vehicle?

Also any other colours in the engine area I need to know about would be helpful.

Thanks

Jeff

If you take a look at the walk arounds on this site you will find this which should answer all your questions ref the interior of the Centurion.

It is good to have provided a link that you forgot about Frenchy and I got to take the pictures as well.

Thanks guys,

Thats exactly what I was looking for.

Frenchy. Thanks for the link. I always forget about flickr.

Darren. Again thanks. I did a google search and got maybe 2-3 pics showing the interior like that but this is great having all them in one place.

Cheers!

Jeff
