Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and thought I'd post a few pics of the Aussie Centurion that I recently built for my father who is a Vietnam Veteran. It's the AFV Club 1/35 Centurion kit and after market items included a vinyl mantlet cover (AFV Club), tracks (AFV Club), turret basket stowage (Firestorm), steel plate mudguards & stowage bin reinforcement (Mouse House), decals (Mouse House & Arms Corps Models) and water jerries (Mouse House). Some of the tools and the small spot light near the MG were from my spares box. Scratch-built items included search light cover (tissue paper), aerials (styrene rod) and tool box tie down straps, which I made from lead foil.
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Greg

looks like the turret isnt seated correctly but otherwise nice....I really like the worn metal look and the shade of green you used is awesome. Good job..

Thanks fellas. Steve - well spotted mate. I hadn't attached the turret properly after taking it off to do a couple of touch-ups. Your Cent looks awesome too by the way!
Cheers
