I was looking specifically for Voyager PE 35110 resin and p/e update for the Australian Centurion by AFV. No one has it, and I'm not even sure Voyager exists anymore. Aside from Firestorm/Callsign are there any other AM update sets available for this tank?

Eduard makes a set which includes PE for the mudscraper and the extra bracing/protection on the tool box sides

Voyager does certainly exist and they are great. If you are willing to use EBAY you can find it here. I have bought from the several times and there is no reason not to trust them. Small packages like this often take less than 10 days to Sweden so I would expect it to be the same to Canada.

I have both sets- the Voyager and the Eduard. The nice thing about the Eduard set is that it has some of the things not in the kit and only available from http://www.mheaust.com.au/ The Voyager set is nice because it has a resin mantlet cover.

The mantel cover is a pig to fit to the kit though I have the one for the mk5/2 and the mantel in that kit is bad, perhaps the one in this kit is better.

The easiest way is just to do the Lionmark turret. It has the mantlet molded on. They make one for the RAAC

the only ones I am aware of is the RAAC turret and ones for the Mk 3 and 5/2. I don't know enough about Centurions to say for sure if the Mk 5 would work or not. My guess is probably not for the 1973 kit, but that's purely speculation on my part

A couple more AM companys to check out - Mouse House Ent ( Austraila ) have various resin detail parts for Cents , and Inside The Armour had a couple of turrets .
