I understand that the Chieftain tank used the same/similar Horstmann suspension units as its predecessor, the Centurion. Exactly how similar or different is it? Can you take the suspension from an AFV Club Cent and put it on the Tamiya Chieftain?

Thanks Kurt. Should have guessed it wouldn't be that easy
