Hi, everybody!
I want to show you one of models which I finished recently.
It is the British Centurion Mk.6 from AFV club.
At construction I used a photoetching set from Voyager and working tracks from AFV club. It is also a little bit scratchbuild.
I hope that the model will be pleasant to you. Pleasant viewing
Assembly:
Ready model:
Thank you that came

Very nice overall finishing on your Centurion Dmitry. The exhaust covers would look even better with some heat and rust discolouration.
My only comments regarding the construction would be the lack of a mantlet cover and I think the rectangular brush guard you added in front of the gunner's sight was only used on Australian Mk.5/1s.
Thanks for sharing your build!

Great work on yours mate I'm currently building an AFV Club Centurion Mk 5/1 IDF Sho't but I'm considering converting it to a Mk 5/2. I hope mine turns out as well as yours
Also, may I ask how you made the mantlet cover on your 5/1? Did you scratch build it yourself or did you use aftermarket parts?

I forgot to ask one other thing - do you remember the separate applique/add on armor for the front hull that was labelled F8? Did you use it and if so - how did you make it fit in the frontal armor? Thanks
