Baker Posted December 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) This will be an attempt to convert an old Airfix Centurion (Mk.8) into a Centurion Mk.1 General Centurion info: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion_(tank)#Centurion_production_mark_numbers While looking for parts for another project I came across this old "box with parts". And i knew I once had a description of how to build a Mk.1 "somewhere". This will be a build that will end in one of 2 different possibilities. 1: A model in the cabinet 2: plastic waste in the trash bin Base An Airfix Centurion. An Airfix magazine from 1977 and a book Centurion in action from Squadron / Signal publications. The hull of the Mk.1 & 2 was longer than the later models. This is also stated in the Airfix description. Plastic Surgery needed...

Baker Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Thanks, Airfix sells / sold this kit as a Mk.8. This is certainly not a Mk.8, but a Mk.3 or 5. Extending the hull was successful. Reinforcements have been added inside, so later on there is only some cleaning here and there. The chance that this model ends up in the waste bin has become very small Discovered something, this build cannot go wrong The kit was "born" in 1964 (and that was a very good year ) Thanks for following, and a merry Christmass and happy new year Edited December 25, 2020 by Backer Edwardkenway, popeye the sailor, marktiedens and 6 others 9 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch To do : Prins Willem Corel, Le Tonnant Corel, Yacht d'Oro Corel, Thermopylae Sergal Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

Baker Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) After the top plate was applied, cleaning and sanding of the hull started (with a too sharp knife 👍👎) The mudguards are cleaned up, extended and glued The upper part of the hull is adjusted and the engine exhausts extended. And i have a full bag with new clamps. Extra detailing on the hull. A previously built Mk.3 serves as example.

popeye the sailor Posted January 14, 2021 Share #16 Posted January 14, 2021 sounds as bad as I am........I never write down measurements I take it for granted concerning the scale I'm working on and try to stay with the scale. as you've done, it's always best to start at the bottom and work your way to the top it does appear that your working from text, so at least you have something to work with. very nice detail work!

Yes plaster on plastic. I have been using it for over 15 years and am very satisfied with the results.
