Tamiya Centaur IV

I can’t remember if I found the article or the model first, but this has been on my list for ages and Wheels and Wings finally got one in stock.

I was toying around with a more “what if” livery, where it’d be properly marked as a Canadian vehicle, but by sticking with the stock markings it’s a double unicorn. The Centaur is also the only tank ever operated by the Royal Marines.

All info on netting can be found here.

I ended up using the pocket liner from some old jeans. It didn’t occur to me until yesterday, but I might try strips of newsprint next time. The jeans have a cool texture but they need some work to drape properly. The netting is from Wee Friends. Ive been using medical gauze for netting until now and bought it just to see what it was like. It’s slightly sturdier than the gauze, and it’s nice that it’s green, but for the price I’m gonna stick with the gauze in the future. Dying it isn’t that big a hassle.
