James C Looking awesome. You did a bloody good job on those pretty nasty looking joins.

Bart Goesaert Nice work, what do you use for scribing? I prefer a thick needle (I prefer the Excell one). To deepen the lines (to keep em while sanding for example) I simply follow the contour, but only after a few passes (without applying pressure), you'll feel that you get some bite. For new lines In once received the tip to start a line at both ends, so not to stop in the corner, but start in one corner till a bit from the end, and then the other corner to connect them. Thus you avoid overshooting the corners... When it's deel enough, slightly sand the surface, and clean the dust either by scribing again of with tamiya extra think, which dissolves the last bits.

Second best scriber to me is the one from bare metal foil, but only for straight lines AND removing parts...

Rene Scheiblich Thanks mates! Still quite a bit of work to be done on this one. I hope the Dragon one won't be quite as bad, considering there are engines to fit as well...
I have used no specific tool, just a medium thick needle with a good point in my pinvise. It was quite fiddly work, I actually might get me proper tools for scribing when the next plane hits the bench. I do feel like the old 1:32 Bf109 from Hasegawa could use some work

Martin Oostrom Now that's some serious enhancement of that kit!

Rene Scheiblich Thank you Martin! All the filling and sanding has definitely paid off if I might say so myself. Tedious dirty work, but those gaps were too horrible to ignore or drink away
Today I'll clean her up a bit and start spraying the underside RLM76 if time allows.

Rene Scheiblich Underside and tail sprayed with the MRP RLM76, after having to change the needle in my Badger 150... Spat all over the place. Somehow I managed to bump the point into something...

Rene Scheiblich Slowly progressing. Parts for gearbay and landing gear prepared.

Martin Oostrom Great paintjob. No Kawa Ninja problems here

Ingo F Nice, nice, nice. I am in.

Scott Dutton Me too, Vietnam?

Ingo F Rene, please a few words about the kit. Never build an kit from AFV Club but planning to get a few kits from them.

Scott Dutton Generally quite good, not huge parts count, pretty good detail, easy assembly, not quite Tamiya but rate very highly. If looking for this kit,the first ones came with resin figure. I'm just finishing an Aussie MRV, 113 with Scorpion turret from them and have built a couple of their M548 all nice in my opinion

Ingo F Thank you Scott. I am planning to get the IDF Centurion from them, M1128 and maybe the M60 kits if Takom not going to release other versions besides the M60A1.

Peter Hardy I can remember RAAC Centurions thundering past my house on their way back to Enoggera Barracks as a kid. My older brother would yell out "Army Tanks" and I would come running to wave at the fearsome beasts!

James C Sweet! I've got this one in the stash as well.

Rene Scheiblich Welcome aboard mates
Scott, yep it's planned as a Vietnam Centurion.

This is my first kit from AFV Club Ingo, so my experience is limited. This one builds up nicely for the most part and detail is quite good! Only a few points so far:
The lower hull was squished and I had to put in bars to fit the engine deck.
The ejector marks on the driver hatches, these were really awkward to remove...
Fit of the turret shell halves wasn't stellar.

Other than that, smooth sailing and nice fit. All roadwheels, idler wheels and drive sprockets polycapped as well I'm with Scott here, highly rated and I wouldn't mind another AFV Club kit

Did you check out Kerry's build of this kit already James?

James C Yes I did quite a while back now.

Peter Hardy Kerry sank a 1:1 in mud! Ask him about it!

Rene Scheiblich He sank one? Oh my...

I'm already poking holes into him with questions about these tanks
