Some years ago I intended to build an Australian Mk V/I Centurion based on the Tamiya re-issued Centurion III, as a large number of RAAAC Centurions were up-grades of the Mk III hull, having completed the basic Mk III hull {from the Tamiya kit}, modified the exhaust outlets on each side and other modifications to convert into the Mk V/I, the project was reserected after starting the AFV Club Centurion V.

Using a Black and White photo, some scale drawings as references for modifying the basic Tamiya kit and the progress of the model project at pressent.

Progress Comparisons:



RAAAC Centurions were painted in what is known as French Artilary Green, Humbrol once had this colour in their enamel range but a close match and the clour I used on my subject is Humbrol #116

I like it! Nice progress pics! Anything that is done with the Centurion is a win - win subject!

BTW, what is the source of the B & W reference pic?
