Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
It has a wider part at the end.
Unless I’ve missed in the text that you are adding it?

Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
Hi, it has a slightly larger muzzle end - maybe it's not clear on the photo but here is the real thing
The print is scaled up from the 1/35 model

Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
Looking impressive already, some fine work there.
I never finish anyth
Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
Familiar with the centurion but can’t spot it on the barrel.
Sorry for pointing out if it’s already done just can’t see it in unpainted

Re: Centurion Mk III Scratch build
Having looked again the photos show a larger end on the barrel, I'll just print a part to slip over the end.
