Accurate Armour has just released a new Centurion ARV conversion for the AFV Club Centurion kits. This new tool features full resin details, as well as clear parts and PE details as well. AND decals too! Check out all the details here!

Accurate Armourhas just released two new sets for the AFV Club Centurion kits. The first C087 is a full conversion set with tons of resin parts as well as, clear parts, brass cable, PE details and declas too.

The second offering is just the drivers compartment (A176) that allows you to install a very smart looking drivers hole in your next Cent from the early models up to the MK5s. Here is what our friends at Accurate Armour had to say about these two cool offerings:

“The Centurion ARV Mk-1 was designed in 1951 at the REME workshops in Aldershot as an urgent requirement for the Korean War campaign to support and replace the aging and slow Churchill ARV Mk-2. Production ran from 1951 to 1957 with approximately 180 conversions completed, all of which were on Centurion "Long" Mk-1 hulls. This ARV served with the British Army until 1959, and some examples served with New Zealand, Australian, Jordanian and Israeli forces.

This 1/35th scale resin conversion set for AFV Club Centurion kits was designed by Tim Babb, with additional work by Derek Hansen and Rob Tearle. A standard UK pattern vehicle can be made and alternative parts are also included to make the only surviving example which ended up in Australian service.

The set includes new rear decks and extended hull and revised hull upper plates and complete removable superstructure. All ARV stowage bins are included along with replacement early tank trackguard bins and all external stowage with drawbars, snatch blocks, front vice and rear spade are also included. Brass cable and etched brass detail fret is also included along with a decals set featuring a good assortment of marking options.

We would like to thank Paul Handel for his assistance and help in the research of this interesting project and for taking a lot of time to photograph the only surviving example for us. The vehicle is preserved at the Royal Australian Armoured Corps Memorial and Army Tank Museum.”

“This 1/35th scale resin accessory set allows the detailing of the drivers position inside AFV Club Centurion kits. The all resin set designed by Rob Tearle includes side and rear bulkheads, drivers seat, controls and fittings and is suitable for all early marks of Centurion up to Mk-5. A detailed replacement roof panel is also included. “

For those of you that love the “centurion” series tanks and vehicles this is sure to be a great addition to your collection. That drivers compartment upgrade will also be a welcome addition to many modelers who favor IDF subjects too.

As always big thanks to our friends at Accurate Armour for the heads up on this and their continued commitment to bringing us awesome new kits, conversions and accessories for the whole armor modeling community.
