Three turrets made, two of these mounted on Centurions and the third was used for ballistic testing (shot at).
One turret remains.

Bloody hell; I mean, there’s obscure, and then there’s obscure.

Still sort of cool though 
At least it was/is more solid than a lot of the German Paper Panzers.
I think I want one …

Well, that’s true enough Robin I admit. Not for me though otherwise I’ll go off on an experimental tank phase - oh - wait(!)

I think you need a companion for that TV8

Noooooo!
I suppose if I do it’ll have to be the Sov Object 279 (fairly recently restored to running order which is hugely impressive) and God knows I could always use a soldier in NBC kit - as per the original Takom kit.

The perfect kit for those who love assembling indy-link tracks.
“Buy and build ONE kit and get the joy of ONE EXTRA SET of tracks for FREE! The offer of a LIFETIME for all who LOVE assembling tracks!”
Yes, there is one in my stash …

Yes - kind of put me off for life I think!
Back to the more prosaic - Clerks unloading a Land Rover - exciting enough for me(!)

They show the rear not, because it is the wrong Mk? They put it on?
Amusing has Mk5 hulls, ActionX should be a Mk7

I’m sure that’ll be an easy enough fix for those who desire the beast.

I can fix a lot of problems, but if they say it should be the Aktion X. I expect, that it is the correct hull. I want to buy a kit, not a lot of problems

They don’t show the rear of the hull cleraly, but it is indeed a Mk 5 hull. The rear angles inward from the top. The Mk 7 angles outward. There is a resin company with the conversion. I’ve scratched it a couple of times. It’s about as time consuming as converting them to IDF extended fuel tank hulls. Still, you’re right - an unaccepatable inaccuracy.

And? You need the correct motor decking and with the Mk7, late style Bazooka plates too…
And maybe the uparmored frontplate… so it is ok, now?
Buy a kit and buy lots of extras so you get it look right? Or ignore all of the short comings and celebrate? Yeah a fantastic new offering.
I pass

Not hard to see where the Chieftains turret came from is it?

The actual vehicle used Mk.7 Centurion hulls which Amusing have never released - and have not corrected in this kit.
All Mk.7 parts available from SMM.
