Very exciting news today, I got a commission for a Mark 13 Centurion, so I'm going to be very busy updating component designs, I've already updated the rear deck as this was modified on the mark 7 and subsequent tanks to improve engine cooling

Making progress with the printing and assembling

The rear of the tank upper hull needed some redesign as it is quite different from the Mark 3

Lots more printing to do
