This Centurion !!!!! But I can only dream............

MAUS45

That is the Centurion I want as well. It was based on the Mk. V, but modified with an up gun to a 105mm and a diesel engine.

Make it a Korean War vintage Centurian Mk III and I might just take a brief break from my "Panzer Adiction"

This thread seems to have a good percentage of Centurion fans. I have a plan to guarantee that HL will build one for $150.00 (or Tamiya will build one for $1500.00)

I'm gonna take a shot at scratch building one ........ seriously.

After I spend six months and much $$$$ building it, I'm sure HL will announce and release their new Tamiya compatible all metal Centurion it to the public. It could happen.

There are three versions that look good to me, the Israeli SH'ot, the 11LR and 13 MBT versions are my favorites.

Whoever built that tank went the cheap route and used HL Panzer 3 plastic tracks.. right?

Those are definitely HL, but the Panzer 3 tracks are too narrow for a Centurion. Tracks from the Panther/Jagdpanther are closer to the dimensional scale needed for an appropriate representation of such a glorious armored vehicle.

If it's a Centurion then you need to make it the MKV, I do believe that was the most popular export version, But I would accept a correction on that knowledge

Okay, okay... I do love the Centurion too and as a matter of fact long before the Sherman and SP guns it was one I admired. But the darn thing really wasn't a WWII tank. It belongs with the Sherman M50's and the JS-3's.

Now here is a Churchill video that'll get you pumped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjtT7XAwM6A I know the flame thrower cannot be used in IR battling but a simulated beam or high powered blast of air with maybe confetti or glitter to emulate the flame could be interesting?

Either way, Churchill or Centurion... I want and need some British WWII tanks. Oh, and the Chally too.

How about this:



The very first Centurion. I find it amazing that the Centurion had a range finding machine gun and when the target was found, the main gun then would hit it without missing. [X(]

I've seen on another forum, I believe his name was "oztruck" and he used a henglong pershing as a base for a centurion. Turned out really nice, I have thought of that too, but was afraid there would be too many rivet counters condemning it, the thing is if you use the side armor skirts it covers the pershing suspension and looks pretty decent. I have heard rumors of a centurion coming out in the future.....we shall see. even though it isn't WWII it would go nicely against hoobens T55.

In addition, what that first Centurion needs is the small machine gun turret from top of the the M3 Lee main turret, and the turret from the glacis of the Canadian Ram II. Now that would be a TANK !
