Hi all
A few more pics of the Centaur....
pre shaded with NATO black,then a base coat of olive drab,with two more lighter coats with flat white added (all Tamiya paints)
A coat of Klear,then the decals, the turret took me THREE hours
The decals apart from the turret are from the lovely Bison set BD-35012
Centaur,Comet and Cromwell and went on a treat no carrier film showing
Tyres and tracks next...stay tuned :-) :-) :-)

Magnificent job. I just ordered the decals from Lucky Models. They look great on your model.
Well done.

Thanks Guys
Alan,
It's the Aber set 35A92,doddle to do,5 mins with the soldering iron
It comes with four large upright brackets,but I couldn't find any pics of these on a tank(I diddn't find any with the wading gear either ).
I'm tinkering with the figs and stowage at the moment,I want to show the thing either waiting to be loaded or just loaded on the LCT,with the crew sitting around waiting for the off.
The build will be quite clean as the tanks not been in action,as for the stowage ,just a cammo net and few jerrycans lashed down with ropes,
if it's going swimming too much gear would be swept away?

Hi Andy
Looks very nice. I love the stack. Makes me want to get mine out of the box, but I'm busy with a Comet.
It really took three hours for the turret decals, ouf! but they do look nice
Waiting to see more of this tank .
Cheers
Brian
