CENTURION PICS

Post by HERMAN BIX »

With the release of the Tamy & impending Haya centurions, I thought Id better get a few of the pics I have taken of the Aussie machines in various locations.
I can get a lot more of the ones located at a place not far from me called Tankride if required.
Im not sure what 'Marks' they are, but you guys that like them will know.
The first lot are from a Vietnam Museum outside Melbourne, I was very rushed & didnt have ideal positioning for full tank profiles so I just grabbed the turret & stowage to show the busy arrangement of gear all over it.

I will get the rest up when I can resize them.

Happy to help if possible mate.
I think that once Ive got the other ones resized, they will be average at best, but if I plan to go up to Tankride to get specifics, I would need to be filled in on whats needed.

Hes closed to rides, but I should be ok to get up there for pics.

Some handy details there, HB, for folk who like to go the extra... centimeter... in a build!. One there looks like it's prepared for a very long trip out into the bush :D :thumbup:

Awesome pics from above showing details not normally seen, Thanks Herman! :clap:

The pics will come in handy when I start my Aussie Vietnam Centurion build. :thumbup:

To add to the fund of Centurion photos, for future builders, tweakers here's one I took of the Mk 3 at Bovington:

Then a couple of the (Mk 7?) I snapped at the Swiss Military Museum at Full (the placename; not a volume statement :D )
Image

By sheer coincidence, I just discovered that the Swiss museum has given a Centurion to Bovington ( I refuse to use 'gifted', as that's an adjective describing Louis- Imcq11!!).
Here's the article, with some neat pictures.

I was going to add a couple of pics I took of a real rare beast, but I think this web link is better. It has a picture similar to one I took near the bottom of the article.
I'll still have a look for the pictures that I took quite a few years ago and post them, don't think they were that good to be honest.
