Impressive model, nice contrast!

Excellent job on the details. I am very impressed with the application of the Barracuda MCS.

Fantastic work. Jason, please share how you applied that amazing Barracuda. It looks so much more realistic than the molded-on MCS seen on various resin kits.

Hi young_seven, I am very glad you like my build. About the Barracuda, I first applied a layer of thin plastic sheet( i used TAMIYA 0.1mm PLA paper)on the surface of the model, then applied the AFV CLUB's camo net decal on it, to enhance the appearence I applied a second layer of the camo net dacal.

Top!

Superb build!

666!

Very nice built.

I guess it is very difficult to apply the camouflage decals.

I have a PE camouflage from Eduard and it is easier to apply. However I think the work is also difficult to make the barracuda MCS with it, because of several panels we have to cut parts of net and glue them on plastic sheets for example. I have not tried it is just what I imagine.

Thank you for the explanation, Jason, I must try this one day. Very well done, it looks very authentic :-)

Stunning work. Jason, what brand and color of paint did you use for the green?

Really nice job Jason

Hi Andy, its Vallejo's surface primer UK bronce green.

Great job, Jason, really wonderful! What kit did you use for the basic Challenger tank?

Thank you! I have been looking for a good bronze green for a Centurion. I would never have thought about using a primer as a top coat, but this looks like a perfect match.

Hi Curt
The basic kit is Trumpeter's Challenger 2 enhanced armour.The details of this kit is sad, but its chassis is slightly better than Tamiya's old Challenger 1's and it provides the later style perforated road wheels(only the outer side, the inner side wheels are still the wrong sized old style ones.). So I used this kit, and replaced some poor details with parts from Tamiya's Challenger 2.

Thanks, Jason!
