10 minutes of video of the Cent doing its thing. Long grass, steep climbs, tight turns, slow turns, slooow running, fast running, firing main gun, running over rocks etc etc.
Let me know what you think

Centurions in Vietnam 1 16

Looks fantastic Oztruck! It runs really well too. I'd never have guessed you used Panther tracks, they look just right on the model. Really outstanding work. Jeez! I want a Centurion now!

Cheers

I have a cunning plan. The southern branch is looking for a battlefield, well you can't get much further south than Oz's garden can you......?

Stunning modelling there Oz, wouldn't it be great if Tamiya/HL did something similar???

I would love for HL or the big "T" to do one any one. They have been in active service since the early 50's to early this century, by many nations and just as many styles.
I know years ago, when I scratch built a 1/35 AFV or ARV the next year it was released in a kit time and time again. So lets hope it goes that way with this and all the other fine scratch built tanks that can be found on this sight built by many fine modelers

At least you got to finish yours. I was half way through my Jagdpanther when suddenly Tam (then HL) released one >:(

Great tank by the way. The Centurion was my first experience of a real Tank when "Leylend Motors" had an open day and they let the kids climd all over one
