I wish I had a 3d model to build from but all I have is a few photos and a drawing to go by. I think the ones that were used in the GW1 were a later model and that would mean a lot less work on the rear deck. Go for it You can do it. The more people that start to scratch build Centurions the quicker they will release one RTR

Looking very nice Oztruck.
Let me know if you need any close-up photos of details on the Centurion at the War Memorial in Canberra. I don't live too far away so it wouldn't be a hassle.

Thanks B-Man for the offer. Already have a few photos of 169056 it is what I have based mine on. Used to do work at the AWM about 20 years ago and have a few photos of the other Cent that was there also. Found a good book last night on the web "Jungle Tracks" , all I have to do is find somewhere/body to sell me one.

Hi Oztruck its looking great. Did you modify the Pershing chassis or is it standard? apart from the idler wheels.
Cheers Ian
