1/72 Australian Centurion 5/1 with SVN modifications

thingiverse

A remix of Bergman's excellent Centurion from the 1:100 Modern Vehicles series to depict the Centurion 5/1 (Aust) as used in South Vietnam. Modifications included no side skirts, reduced/replaced track guards, reinforcing/protection for the stowage bin latches, 2 x road wheels on front glacis, the long range tank, removed smoke dischargers and stowage for .30 cal ammo on turret roof (also a PRC-25 radio for comms with supported infantry). The version I have posted is fully stowed with water jerries on the rear deck (enough to refill the cooling system) and other random bits in the turret basket. I have replaced one .30 liner with a lidless liner for flares and the PRC-25 is also there. All created in Tinkercad by cutting/adding various bits. I will at some point post the various parts I have used/created (including a hypothetical AVRE with the same mods as the gun tank - no doubt the 165mm demo gun would have done a number on VC bunkers!)
