looks good....are you scratch building the whole chassis, or what are you using as a basis? I'm very pro Israel, so want to do a Centurian and Merkhava IV. Nothing of either out there as yet.

Got a bit more done














I am using a Heng Long Pershing as a base to build from.
As for the running gear, I am still looking for a set of T34/85 idlers and a set of Bull Dog drive sprockets.
Paypal ready to go

Got a little bit more done. Might have to start on the hull because I am now waiting on parts for the turret eg recoil mech etc, before I can do the mantle and main gun[sm=greedy.gif]

God I'm sick with envy. You scratch builders are amazing. Wish I had half the talent.

Awesome build. The Centurion is my favorite tank. I served on them when I was in Germany back in the '70's.

Most of the main building is done. Still some more detail work and then on to painting.
Waiting for sound system, battle system, and still have to convert the 3/1 gearboxes.
