Hi guys,

here are my Centurion and Conqueror ARV Mk2 in Germany in the early 1960s

The Cent is from AFV with AA wheels, the Conqueror ARV is also from AA.

The crew are from Mini Art.

All are brush painted with Humbrol enamel paint and weathered with enamel paint.

This is a work in process....
The Cent RH track has already been reinstalled after it was noticed that it was on backwards (in one or two pics)

Thanks for looking.

Nicely done.

Brings back memories, I volunteered at Duxford many years ago and got to 'play' with the ARV Mk.2, armed with a sledge hammer and a can of WD40 trying to free up the three round hatches which had become seized above the winch drum. Then got to go around the arena stood on the batteries in the commander copula (no interior) however we could only go in a sort of circle as one brake was playing up, great fun and terror at the same time.
