Inside the Armour is selling a very limited production run (50 sets) of a conversion (ex Cromwell)
to make an Olifant from an AFV-Club Centurion.

Great looking mod...but an upcoming move into another home is keeping me from purchasing this.

I've had the Cromwell conversion in my stash since it was released back in 2008. It is an excellent conversion.

I am not sure why Inside The Armour has the conversion listed as an Olifant Mk.1B on their site...it should be a Mk.1A.

Note that you need a 105 mm main gun...so you'll need the AFV Club NATO Centurion or an IDF kit...or source a 105 mm L7...such as the Leopard Workshop L7 tank gun.

Thanks for the info ! Warning noted I have some other
conversions in the stash so I will just redistribute them
to get the correct barrel in the correct box
