I wish I could produce copies of a Centurion. If I was 34 instead of 74, I might seriously think about doing some kind of a workable kit or basic model. I built this tank as a 74th birthday present to myself (April 21), but I missed that completion date due to doctors appointments and a couple of days in the hospital. But everything is ok again.

Two things seemed to take forever to do. The engine deck and the turret. I have no patience for detail work.

This tank is going to get a "Sinai Desert" paint job with Israeli markings from one of the many disagreements they have had with their Arab neighbors. To me, a Centurion in any other paint color just doesn't look right. Here's a photo of part of the crew.
