Very nice Mk. 5 with 105mm gun?

Does it depict any particular nation's Centurion? It seems to have an exceptionally large gun mantel.

Thanks, it's actually the 20pdr type B barrel, and the gun mantlet looks large as it has the canvas cover on

Great job Kit. Will this be appearing on the SIG table by any chance? :grin:

I certainly hope this kit was better than their pt76. If not, maximum respect for a job well done
I wish, that I knew what was doing!

thanks general, done a few Ace kits in the past and they have steadily improved with each new release. This one is their best yet and goes together really well

Looks lovely. I usually veered away from Ace kits but now I think it was a mistake :)
