As many of you maybe know the AFV club NATO centurion is very hard and expensive to get your hands on.

But i have heard that the AFV club IDF shot centurion is the same kit only with a couple more sprues.

Does anybody here know that for sure ? or maybe have both kits on the shelf so they can take a look and compare the two kits

no worries. I converted the '67 Sh'ot into an early brit Mk5 using just what's on the sprues. woulda used the aussie version, but there were issues with the lower hull. I'm pretty sure parts for most version are included. you havn't said what version you intend to build up, if it's the NATO, the 105mm gun isn't included

Remember that the NATO centurion includes Dansk markings. Be sure to ask around if anyone has a spare set, as I think no aftermarket decals for your country are available.
