Centurion Mk 5/1 Royal Australian Armoured Corps, Vietnam

AFV Club's Centurion Mk 5/1 

Almost out of the box, just with some stowage added ( J-Work's ration boxes were nice and cheap ).  Weathered with oils and pigments.

Fun build, but the vinyl tracks were a bit of a problem, which is why the idler wheels are too far forward to get enough tension to stop the track twisting.

I also had issues with the Undercarriage snapping. I had to drill and pin the main landing gear struts. Painted with Gunze throughout, with Oil weathering Peter
