Looks great Alwyn!

Your 20 pdr muzzle end looks off though...

It has a wider part at the end.

Unless I’ve missed in the text that you are adding it?

Hi, it has a slightly larger muzzle end - maybe it's not clear on the photo but here is the real thing

The print is scaled up from the 1/35 model

Familiar with the centurion but can’t spot it on the barrel.
Sorry for pointing out if it’s already done just can’t see it in unpainted :)

Having looked again the photos show a larger end on the barrel, I'll just print a part to slip over the end.
