It's SO detailed it's looking less and less like an RC tank but more and more like the real thing.

Glad you guys like it - "It's SO detailed it's looking less and less like an RC tank but more and more like the real thing." Isn't that the whole point?
Wish I was quicker, but the arthritis is a bit of a drag.

Mal, it´s still amazing about the details you made 
Here´s a little video made at the fair beginning of October:
Maybe the one or another of you will be getting interested in this beautiful kit

Oh, certainly no lack of interest on MY part, just so late in the game for it to become reality and not having the time or enthusiasm now is what is keeping me from getting one. The Centurion has always been a favorite of mine since I first started modeling.
Your kit is a thing of beauty for sure.

Hi Freddy
I try... & sometimes stuff works... nice video by the way. Your Cent is a bit too clean, looks factory fresh, but that can be fixed
Haven't kept up the posting thread due to the software update being a real pain - my post at Havoc Hobby is more current - Christian Ludwig Centurion Mk III - 1/16th - the down side being you have to be a member to see the pics
Hi Ad Lav
Awaiting pics

Hi Longsheep
Some of those Hong Kong Centurions - Korean war Vets - came here to New Zealand. Most of them were disposed of to Australia as replacements for those lost (destroyed/damaged beyond repair) in Vietnam in 1967 ish.
We had a total of 12 - Mk 3's & 5's & a Mk1 ARV, 4 gun tanks remain in country, one at the Waiouru National Army Museum, one at the School of Armour, Waiouru, and 2 as hard targets on the ranges at Waiouru.
Plus there are a least 2 ex Aussie Cents in the South Island in private hands.

Hi Joseph
That's a big ask. Unfortunately, I only have Regn number data for NZ Centurions, although surprisingly one is close to that Regn No. - 02ZR67, aka NZ 30990, which ended up on one of the Waiouru gun ranges as a hard target.
You might be better off contacting Bovington Tank Museum and asking what records they have. There is also Centurion group on Facebook, though it's an invitation only group - no, I'm not a member.

You already know this, Joseph, but I can also tell you that you are in good hands with Mal. He's very experienced, and he knows what he's doing. Some of these guys on here you don't want to listen to, but Mal is not in that group. If he gives you advice, you know it will be good.

All though the engine in the Chieftain was horribly under powered, it was and is still one of the best sounding tank engines I have ever heard.
I would love to have a model of the Mk V. another great sounding engine is the Russian diesel in the T64 tanks. These engines just sing to me much like a Detroit does. Just something about the sound of a big diesel engine screaming it's lungs out gets me all warm and tingly inside.

Hi Joseph
I'm just glad my advice was useful.
Hi Crius
You're laying it on a bit thick, almost snow shovel territory, not that we need such things in this part of NZ, but appreciate the sentiment.
