Centurion Bridgelayer

[jackh]

This Scratchbuild (some of you have probably seen this before ) a Centurion Bridgelayer (I served on the real deal in the Danish army)was made some time ago using the old Tamiya kit (it was the only thing around at the time), it needed a lot of work. The tracks is the only aftermarket part (it's AA's Hush Puppies).

First of are some progress photos:
















to be continued ;D

Scratchmod & Paul thanks for dropping in, appreciate your kind comments

It was a good and fun time, working and driving these beast but also hard work, manual gear and a clutch (double clutch between every gearshift, but with a lot of practice you could by listening to the engines rev. do it with single clutch and even without using the clutch ;D) demanding considerable weight as I recall 75 pound pressure.
