Yeah, quite enjoyable build though!

Got some goodies en route being 3D resin printed.

Search light bracket and box and stowage basket and some idf style Jerry cans.

He has test printed a centurion turret rear to get the size and shape correct.

I’ll ask him for a set and will ask about .30 cals.

Afv modeller does a very nice .30 cal but it’s rather expensive!

And by the sounds of it, hes overwhelmed to the point of failure too.
Appreciate you asking about those bits :thumbup:

I have the Haya Centurion does your Tamiya have a turret LED MG and if not are you thinking of fitting one, The Haya has the noise and is ready for an LED MG but does not come with it.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Ad Lav: I second Jarndice's question. A flashing fifty would be great on the Haya Centurion.
