Well, I have finally started work on my nex "big" project...
the Centurion Tank*.
[*a Mk.5 Centurion, mid 1960s, Nationality to be determined]
Very very early stages at the moment.
Still trying to work out my build method...planning the central Hull...
deciding how much Interior I want to install...will the Tracks be
fully articulated...and exactly what Scale will I work in?
At the moment I am seriously considering 1/16 scale.
This would make the Tank (not including the Gun Barrel) about 18" (450mm) long.
Thats a big model, but not unreasonable.
GPM already produces some 1/16 Armour in Paper.
I had originally planned on 1/18 to keep it in scale with my 1/18 Autocar Armored Car model.
(The Armored Car ended up at 1/18 scale so that main parts would fit onto Letter size
pages without the need of breraking them into multiple pieces.)
I have since been convinced that 1/16 and 1/25 are the more common and preferred scales for Armour kits
and the page fit issue at either 1/18 or 1/16 is not a factor.
(1/25 is too small for what I want to produce...my goal was another "big" scale kit)
First plan is a Canadian marked version...standard British Army Bronze Green finish.
I have a markings scheme for an 8th Can. Hussars Tank serving in Germany around 1960.
Then I will look at some alternates, if there is enough interest.
British? American, Israeli? I'm not sure yet.
