Hi Oztruck,
Sorry I never made myself clearer, I can see the work you have done on the front ,back, suspension, return rollers( I wrote idlers Doh!) etc
what I really meant was are the roadwheels still in the same place/distance apart?
Cheers Ian

Re: New 1/16 Mk5 Centurion
Hi Ian, the second road wheel needs to be moved forward about 4mm. Hope this helps

Re: New 1/16 Mk5 Centurion
Most of the main building is done. Still some more detail work and then on to painting.
Waiting for sound system, battle system, and still have to convert the 3/1 gearboxes.

Re: New 1/16 Mk5 Centurion
Jeez, your Centurion looks absolutely breathtaking Oztruck. I've been following this jaw-dropping build of yours with amazement ever since you started the thread. I think a good many RC-Tankers have always coveted a 1/16 Centurion, now you have demonstrated a way of doing just that. Brilliant work. Can't wait to see a vid of it up and running like your other stuff.
Cheers
