Centurion Mk.3 (the old one)

[jackh]

Andy - Thanks weathering on it's way.

jackwagon - That would be a sight for sore eyes ;D

CB - I will try, but it's Korean war wintertime bound and they where heavily weathered due to the harsh conditions but the Centurion performed brilliantly despite that, in fact that was reason the Australian army chose the Centurion Tank for the RAAC.

modelfreak - Thanks for the comments, glad you found it
