120mm Centurion

[ysi_maniac]

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

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

Those mods are hot, Carlos! You've got a real talent for armor (and airplanes and...where's my knitting needles?!!). I'd hate to have this monster staring me down!

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