Looks good, will you be offering the same no electronics/plastic rtr/metal rtr and chassis available seperately options as you currently do with the Chieftain?

Like many, i was not expecting a 3D printed model. Good effort, looks ok but very demanding guys like me will compare it to the Tamiya model in price and quality. I am happy to see competition. If this is the final design though, i recommend fixing issues regarding the fit of some parts resulting in apparent gaps, and also with the shape of the road wheels.

Things I like are the 20 pdr B barrel and 105mm barrel.

Not so keen on the thickness of some parts and the road wheels.

If Tamiya hadn’t announced a Centurion I would be buying this!

Sadly you’ve got stiff competition.

--- this 3D printed is only for the purpose to see details . The final products will be moulds injected ABS plastic , like chieftain. Rubber tyres not same as the 3D printed sample , just painted by hand. The final tyres are properly down scaled from the real ones in the tank museum.

Ah, that's great ! Thank you for the clarifications. I hope there will also be a static version of your model, i might need a couple. And if you are able to provide a realistic and flexible canvas cover for the mantlet, that would certainly give it a tactical advantage over competition.

I'm glad to see a competitor for the Tamiya and the Haya version will be less work to convert to an Australian Centurion in Vietnam so it has me very interested. I look forward to seeing the final product.

I'll wait until both kits are reviewed before making my decision about which to buy, but if the Haya Cent would be offered without electronics...that is a big plus for me.
