    My dad loved the Centurion, he wasn't to keen on its replacement, the Chieftain, mind you he did his driver training in a Sherman. He also served in Aden, and the Suez crisis. 1st Royal tank regiment 1953 to 1977. Sadly lost him in 2005.

      My condolences.
      My uncle served in Aden, SBS. My dad was in the 7th Hussars, Centurion driver, then commander then TA instructor. He did training in, iirc, Fireflies, Churchills etc too. I think they still used Dingos and Bren Gun Carriers as well. Back then one knew who the enemy was! Unlike nowadays.

      I'm really sorry to hear that your father passed away but also my father died too 5 years ago so it would be nice that could be in good company up there. My Italian father was a good story teller regarding history and he was involved with the Italian army and spoke good English. Yep, I miss my father too, both had an interesting life. Hope I didn't bore you...

      @Michael Pearce hello, nice to hear that you have been living in Grumolo delle Abadesse years ago. I don't remember this town but I have been many times around that area including Asiago, I had a pretty girlfriend there, and I loved Padua as well. Actually I live 30 km from Florence, not a bad place surrounded by lovely hills full of vineyards! You should come back someday in Italy and see your friends and enjoy trekking and eating at some trattoria drinking some wine. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹 👍

    A CenturionTank was tested in outback South Australia using an atomic bomb at Maralinga and it withstood the blast , only the paintwork was blasted off, the internals were like brand new. The engine only stopped after it ran out of fuel. Later the same tank served in Vietnam with the Australian army.

    Awesome MBT, even in GW1 it served as a bunker buster, sand didn't affect it whilst Abrams ground to a halt (due to sand ingress)! My dad was a Centurion driver then commander and TA instructor.
    The Isrealis used them to good effect, iirc, in The Valley of Tears (Yom Kippur War). Their 7th Armoured Brigade - funnily enough my dad served in what was 7th Armoured (Desert Rats) when it had been rolled into the 7th Hussars in the 1950s.

There are sources to get the 1/16 L7 gun for conversion as we do it for the T-55 to tiran. Can't post the links for it here, I can send you the link to get one via other means. We are designing and 3d printing the addon ERA via resin printing.

    I think either Korean War (which Tamiya appears to have produced judging by the white star) or Suez. Centurions have a wide range of upgrades for each Mark so it may be quite hard to get the detailing quite accurate for a none UK standard mark III.

  • @timorvet1

    This is the third kit of the Mk III Tamiya have produce in 1/72, 1/32, and now 1/16 scale, for me, personally, I hope they update the new kit to a RAAC Centurion Mk 5/1 and release it in the near future. I can imagine the aftermarket people will bring out a ton of stuff for this one.

  • @coling3957
    @coling3957 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Centurion mbt was in British service for 3 decades. quite a few were deployed to trouble spots around the Empire and were finished in desert camouflage. several deployed to Kuwait when Iraq first started sabre-rattling in 1960 ( at a time UK was withdrawing from Gulf colonies. ) .. Australians used Cent's in Vietnam also. being 1/16 scale there's prob not that many parts or modification kits around so somewhat limited unless scratch-building parts. The Korean War versions look pretty good though. with a bit of weathering etc, the overall green would look fine.

      Much of the plastic is ABS, not polystyrene, so it isn't directly comparable to a display kit in the same scale (ABS usually has some quantity of fiber in it, making it stronger, but also more difficult to push into very small crevices in the mold. That's why it's used on a lot of auto interior trim). I can see why they made the compromises they did.

    I'm gonna hazard a guess that the different mantlet covers are for static display (round hole) and RC (slot). I think the hole would put too much strain on elevation.

    I actually replaced all my tamiya electronics with Clark model TK 50 standard and ESP I have the entire tamiya lineup worth a fortune but the Clark model boards make all the di 😊

    After I heard about this I was trying to find someone doing a build. Most are just it in RC action etc.

    Most Israeli Cents were probably upgraded to Mk V standards, but they may have captured some early Mk3s from Egypt or Jordan and the pictures I have seen have the type B 20 pounder barrel with fume extractor.A big difference is the sponson bins which were very different then those on early Mk 3s. I am sure that there will be a slew of upgrade parts from the after market people both for various Israeli versions and Aussie Vietnam versions.

      Depends: for Tamiya's typical fare: yes.
      For 16th stuff in general: no XD
      (all of Tamiya's vehicles in this scale have huge boxes with unusually thick card to cope with the weight)

    For the Israeli version you first need to cut a bit off the end of the barrel.
