Glossed up, decals on, Flory washed, shading and highlighting started.

Next jobs, fit the tools, general dust up then maybe a commander figure

That looks nice and messy like the real thing!

I love the damaged skirt. What's written on it?

Cheers David, it's Nasser's Nightmare........bit optimistic considering what happened

LOL, Kit, but I think militarily Musketeer was considered a success. It was the political side of things that undid it.

Looking good, tricky landing for a helicopter on that turret though

Thanks guys, and nice one Nigel

Declaring this one done

Centurion Mk.5, 6th Royal Tank Regiment, Port Said, 1956

Have to say this is probably Ace's best kit to date. Fit is exceptionally good within the limits of limited run. Tracks are excellent and react very well to CA. Only downside is the instructions, not very clear with most parts shown in place and some errors with the numbering of parts but any experienced modeller will easily get past this. Jerry cans are resin, from CMR I think, crew figure is from Millicast.

Thanks for watching this thread guys, and thanks to iggie for a very enjoyable GB

Excellent work on the Centurion Kit, the weathering has added great depth to all the lumps and bumps and has lifted what looks to be an already decent kit to another level.....nice job!

That's a superb build Kit - great work. I really like the weathered finish.
