My Ludwigs Centurion arrived yesterday! :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbup:

Due to the Centurions span of service should it be a thread in Builds Other - Modern?

Cheers,
Barry

I'd have to go along with the rest and say modern as well.
Can't wait to see it!

1946 - 1991 I think only the Abrams comes close or does it? 1980 - present.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Not any where ready to start as I have the M1A1 to finish and have already started the FIrefly conversion.

I will post some pictures of the kit pieces if of interest to anyone. It is actually amazing I have a kit at all...after Chris carefully packaged it DHL let it get "extremely" wet in fact the box pretty much disintegrated. If not for the packing tape wrapping and the individual components bagged or box all might have been lost! As expected Chris immediately when contacted stated he would do what was needed to make things right. Excellent customer service! :thumbup:

After careful inventory and inspection nothing was found missing and only one piece of brass tubing has a slight bend about 2" from the end, :clap: Amazing! Great packing job!!!! :thumbup:

This was once a box, WTF! :thumbdown:

Shocking state of the box but at least it's all there.

Look forward to your build.
