Robert Percy Great build and great camo, I have this waiting for me in my stash for a rainy day, as today...
Looking forward to more pics!

Ingo F Finally we can take a look at this one.
Looks very good mate.
Very nice and subtle weathering.

James C Nice looking build.

Soeren . Indeed a nice looking Type 59!

Dan M Looks good!

Martin Oostrom I think she looks fine

Michael Hickey Nice camo, and job over all.

Spanjaard looks pretty good to me

Eelco Gregoire Looks good Rene! Nice airbrushing.

Rene Scheiblich Thanks guys
I still need a bit of work with keeping the weathering in different areas balanced. Plus advancing my photography skills. All in all I'm quite content though.
Maybe I'll add a few more detail pics when the clouds over Berlin part again

Rene Scheiblich Oops, somehow managed to delete the other album, have to re-upload the WIP pics sometime.

James C It's a good looking build. Love the camo.

Johan Perremans Working on one right now, converting it to a T-54A(M). Nice kit, not as simplistic as Tamiya's T-55, but not as complex as Miniart's series.

Rene Scheiblich Yep, Takom did a nice job there imho. Only the fuel lines were a bit fiddly to get to sit right. Otherwise it's a nice oob kit with plenty of room to get some detailwork done.

Johan Perremans You are building it as Type 59, no?
In that case: DO NOT clip the front plate corners as indicated in the instructions! Type 59 has a square plate. Only clip If you are building an T-54!

Rene Scheiblich Which version did have the square lower front plate? Latter ones?

In these photographs they look like they're depicted in the manual. I took it as proof to cut and sand...
Would be annoying to have to fit some sheet again

Johan Perremans WOOPS! I am so sorry, it is the Type 69 that has the square plate

James C Nice job on the camo Rene Any more pics?

Thomas Kirschbaum very nice

Rui S Nice model & work

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

Wim van der Luijt yup, and merged to the one with the longer title, as that is what the eagle editions website also says.....giyf

Rene Scheiblich
Thanks Wim!
Honestly I don't know if I can fix this kind of stuff already

Wim van der Luijt just google it....it's what I did....and Tim can always change it back

Rene Scheiblich Yeah... But I don't have an option 'Merge' in my Edit Menu

Martin Oostrom True. You need to be a three star member to be able to merge.

Rene Scheiblich Ah nice to know, thanks Martin!
So I'll stick to post doubles for you folks when I stumble upon one

Hans Robben Doubles can be reported by clicking on the + icon of the product, click actions (on the left) and select the doubles button. please do for each of the doubles.

Martin Oostrom Does anybody know where the reported ones go to then? We can't help Tim if he hides them

Hans Robben No idea , I don't have permission to do merging but I am just repeating what Tim told to do with duplicates.
