Hi everyone..

This is Trumpeter's 1/35 B1 Centauro 2nd Series (kit no: 00386)

I used some aftermarket details with it:
ET Model turret roof armor kit
ET Model NATO antenna set
DEF Model sagged wheel set
RB Model metal barrel
RMG Models tow cable set

Besides aftermarket kits I made some modifications on the model. I corrected the machine gun mount, scratch builded the front light guards (kit's photoetch was really annoying). I made a new dust cover with epoxy putty and 0.3 mm cables, because kit's part was quite wrong and thick. I added various small details and made some alterations here and there as well.

All those details really stand out, especially your scratch building. I look forward to the painting.

I'm sold! Great looking kit and you did a good job putting it together. I'm feeling like I need to add some wheeled assets to my own collection.

Beautiful finish. All the little details already stand out very clearly. Looks like you could hop right in and take it for a ride.

Guys, thanks a lot for all of your kind words.

I really like this kind of wheeled vehicles (especially 8x8's), They are very interesting machines. For example; few people aware that some of them actually bigger and taller than tanks.

Hi again everyone,

I finished my Centauro at last. I am not satisfied completely with some points but I can call it "done". I used oil colors and some pigments for weathering.

Stowage made with spare parts, some wood and epoxy putty.

Now I am going to build a base to it.
