I did a walkaround yesterday of a centurion MK 5 at the Mukleburgh collection in Norfolk. Its a great little museam with some nice vehicles on display, I actually went there for a tank driving course-i'll post some pics up of that aswell.
These should be very useful to anyone building the afv club kit. After seeing the real thing id love to have a shot at one myself now.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for that, it's a great tank. I hope to build one some day but at the moment it's way down my list of 'things to do'.
Very useful - nice one.
Cheers

Very nice walkaround shots Rob! I really wish there were similar museums like those around here.
Thanks for sharing these out. If you are keen, you could donate these photos to primeportal.net. They have quite a few Centurion walkarounds but none of the Mk.5. I donated quite a few photos there myself so fellow modellers could use it as reference.

I have now established this is actually a Swiss Centurion-I had no idea becuase I dont really know about these centurions and things.
It would appear the swiss version has different headlights, smoke dischargers and some other things-perhaps someone could comment on what they are...... The walkaround shouldstill be useful for detailing smaller things like taillight cables, side shields, sprocket mountings etc.
Jazza-Im going to let Prime portal have these-that was my first intention, ive got some shots of a T-55 aswell.

Not quite true, although labelled as a Mk.3, this is a Canadian Mk.5.
