If you don't like to super detail your builds,the Alec 0.2 'Holly' scribing tool can really help bring out definition of some parts.You can 'lift' handles or wires with out usual surrounding damage.Undercutting plates and hatches is easy as it has a canted edge.
I was dissatisfied with the main gun going up, but thank you for teaching me how to make a canvas. I should apply it to Russian tanks later on. Thank you !!!
Every afv club centurion comes with a mantlet cover it's not the nice aftermarket afv club one it's the black 5 peice rubber vinyl one that should be in the kit the shot kals have them Definitely mine do! But I use the other one the slide Moulded one but yeah should have had it on a black vinyl sprue! It's nice enough when all put together and on! Amusing hobbys centurions are not bad too I've been trying them out lately they have 2 shot kals now the Gimal ones the nicest and the AVRE but afv clubs still have that lead on the best centurion on the market! Can't believe there new AVRE mk5 isn't out yet though! The Amusing hobby mk5/1 is the one still with the early 17 pounder barrel on it no fume extracter but it is all accurate for the 4th RTR centurion in Germany they are basing it on! It is a recommended kit if you haven't yet built one! No horrid rubber tyres either!
For this video I was using some eBay brand of rubber-reinforced superglue, but I have since switched to VMS superglue, and am very happy with the results I’m getting there
So I got the AFV centurion mk3 Korean war. It came with so many unnecessary parts like parts from the centurion mk1. I honestly could have built this version bc it came with the fume extractor on the gun barrel. Do you know if this is common for AFV to borrow parts from other kits?
surprisingly enough it actually is. like for the Stryker I did, the M2 0.50 cal is actually from a different kit. in general it seems like AFV club tries to reduce the amount of molds they cut, and thereby reduce costs.
Never seen torch cuts like that on a Cent. Plus you didn't remove the seam around the top of turret. Maybe do more research to help you improve on things unless you're happy to build OOB.
oob? Also, this was an older kit, I built it like a year ago, so its not up to my standards now. a lot of it was idealized and I was just trying techniques on it. Once I get back into releasing videos you'll see that my build style does not match this now.
