Hi all
can anyone tell me if there is a replacement gun barrel around for the Modelcraft/Academy Cernturion mkIII as the one in my kit resembles a green banana.
TIA
Pete

I used a Barrel Depot barrel on my M48A3 for the CWCO campaign. Excellent addition! I'd endorse them any day. Turned aluminum barrel/bore evacuator and brass muzzle brak.

My guess is the Academy is a knock off of the Tamiya kit, and as far as I know, the only plastic Centurion kits out
