MA127  Australian Centurion Steel mudguards and stowage bin reinforcements. From 1969 to 1971 the mudguards on Australian Centurions being operated in Vietnam had their initial mudguards replaced by 1/4 inch steel plate to reduce damage to them whilst moving through jungle.  The vertical face of the stowage bins were also reinforced with American pickets cut to fit between the locks / latches. 

You simply replace the AFV Club parts with the left and right hand mudguards and left and right stowage bin faces. "The very Diabolical" was on such tank that had this modification.

We have some thoughts about how we may be able to produce the rear turret basket in kit form but this may take some time.

SEPARATE SALES
We will also be selling some Centurion conversions separately as they have application to converting the standard early Mk.3 Tamiya / Academy / Modelcraft Centurion kits into later versions.  For example

MASTER Model makers.
Happy to talk to anyone who has masters for Centurion kits in either 1/35 or 1/25 scale
