I'll be following your progress with a keen interest. Having looked at the instructions (no text, and a few quite blurry pics..pity, as it's a brilliant kit..), the suspension looks pretty complex, but will look fantastic when fitted
:thumbup: Overall, it'll make a brilliant addition to the small, but expanding, group of British armour in 1/16 here on the Forum :thumbup:
I imagine old Jarndice would love to get his mitts on one of these :D

great to see increasing numbers of Centurions :D
I'll follow this report too. If you have any questions about building, placing or fitting of parts, don't hestitate to ask me directly (I designed this kit... ;) ).

Cheers
Freddy

Thanks for following guys (nice pic Carl) and also thanks Freddy,it seems straight forward so far but you never know.
Made some progress yesterday and now have the lower hull sides on.im using a combination of super glue and revellers contactable professional glue and if anyone wonders why it's on plaster board that's a carry over from building balsa planes,it gives you a cheap flat surface that makes it easy to anchor things to as they dry and if it does stick to the board it's easy to remove.Any way here's a picImage

A useful and interesting tip about plaster board- what the Yanks call 'Drywall'. I see you've also got some washable, flexible nail files there. I've been buying them lately in packs of 10 in a variety of grit sizes off Amazon, and they're very handy for filing Milliput and styrene edges. I use an offcut of laminate worktop as a 'true' level, and as a sturdy, cut-resistant, cheapo tool it's very useful.
Looking forward to seeing the Centurion morphing from flatpack to 3D :wave:

Made some headway last night.upper hull basic structure is now assembled.took a while to practice a technique to put a slope in the top deck to meet the front,scoring half through the panel on the inside allowed it to follow the required angle nicely.ImageImageImageImage
