Thanks!

Well, it does come with a dust cover for the gun mantel.

It's a Mk5 turret!?

There are 2 different turret roofs in a set: Early Mk.3 and standard Mk.5 http://acemodel.com.ua/pages/models/72425/071.jpg

Looks nice. I'm puzzled by the extra suspension unit on the turret sprue though.

I'm not an expert in tanks but probably the kit instructions can tell you more:

Cheers!

I can't see a barrel with the kit, assume there is one?

Barrel is on the left side of a picture #7 on this page.

the british mbt was development after ww2.the first cold-war era tank made in u.k.

Ah OK - Looks like a correction to a molding problem on the main suspension sprue. Looks like a nice model, though the tracks look to be soft. Wish they'd use hard plastic. It's been a long time since the Airfix!

Those are belt type tracks, so I don't understand how harder plastic would be an improvement.

Review anytime soon?

This is defenetly a must have. After reading Andrew Salmon's To the last round, I wanted to make some sort of diorama with the Centurions of the 8th Irish hussars covering the Infantry as they where forced to pull back during the battle at the Imjin river. When done in 35 scale it would be (way to) huge, so I for one am very happy with this release (which is long overdue in 1/72 scale)

I,m sorry for my lack luster thoughts until Rene mentioned 1/72nd scale. Humm, My opinion of the kit just went up a bunch. Not so impressed at !/35th but looks like a good kit at 1/72nd.
