I wonder how many sandbags would fall off if they tried to rotate the turret, and if it might cause a jam. Otherwise some interesting stuff here without the "everything and the kitchen sink" approach that some companies offer. Found it interesting on the M-10 that anyone would dress it up with such elaborate PE without replacing the dismal molded-on camo hooks on the turret's sides. I realize that they don't offer it with that particular set, just saying what we as a group would do with that kit.

The fuel tank on the rear of the Centaur intrigues me - not only is it under the "Normandy cowl" that only appeared on post-D-Day Cromwells (where hot exhaust would play over the petrol in the tank with disastrous effect), but it also has no visible pipe connection to the tank to use the contents. It might be based on something real, but more likely they just borrowed the idea from diesel-powered Crusaders as kitted by Italeri. But the turret-side bins are good!
