Thanks Sean - I think they're a good looking bit of kit and obviously filled a role admirably for many years.
The build is currently waiting for some bits to arrive from Hong Kong on a *very* slow boat, hopefully a bit of progress soon-ish...
I've also swapped the modified suspension/hull back to a standard hull as the AFV Club plastic would not stand up being driven very far. A bit annoying after all the work that went into it, but I'd rather have something reliable!

The AFV Club plastic is like cheese and rather horrid to work with. Have used brass tubing and M2 screws for the axles with copious amounts of super glue...

Oh now I am getting some ideas for my Tamiya 1971 vintage Centurion :D I like that suspension kit. I had a 1/25 Centurion with suspension and it was pretty sweet. somehow it got away from me and I like this scale better as with as many Tanks as I have I only look a little crazy to my wife. Anyway. nice work and I am checking out your interesting work on this iconic British Tank, The one I have is the star of my collection with those removable road wheel shirts.
