Australian Centurion Vietnam - Build and Info

Okay turret pretty much done. I have left off the Fire extinguishers and Periscope face for separate painting.

Mantlet MG part reshaped to correct profile and the .30 cal aperture was filled and then a new hole drilled a bit higher than the .50 cal opening (looks a lot higher in the pic than it is). Added casting numbers too - Archer for the black ones, stretched sprue for the grey ones.

Replaced the tie down on the bin side and added the 30. cal supports behind the ammo rack. Also added the strap to the commander’s hatch.

added the .30 cal and the cover over the bomb thrower aperture. Noticed that it sits on top and not flush in the recess like I had done it before.

Hatches all move so I can paint easier. Just the PRC 25 Radio to go and the turret is done.

Also assembled both track runs keeping the workable nature of the AFV Club after market indy link set. More on that when I finish the hull assembly.
