After Yom Kippur war, Israel tries to buy Chieftains but British gov agrees only in selling the L11 gun. In fact, Continental power pack in use in upgraded Centurion was considered more reliable than Chieftain's one. So IMI begins to install the new huge gun in recently modified Centurion hulls. An enlarged turret is needed to house the new gun, so a bustle was added.

I know I could buy resin bits http://www.hlj.com/product/INTFA-004
But I am a maniac and all modif are scratch :blink: :banghead:

that's a nice idea, the longer bustle gives it a more modern look... very nice!  :wub:  :tank:

Man, when you modify, you don't hold back.  This is an amazing transformation.

Sharp looking job, you'd never know it wasn't built that way out of the box.
