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
