Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for your very kind offer!
But after doing further research, and as there is also the real chance, as Jason remarked, that AFV will most probably do a dedicated MK11 themselves, I've finally reached my decision. I'm not gonna 'upgrade' my Centurion, I'm gonna backdate it!
I'm gonna build it as a MK2, as this is in a way the 'bridge' between the war time 'heavy cruiser' ordered, and the post war MBT. That aside, I find it eastheticly a very atractive, clean looking vehicle.
I know it involves a lot of work, lengthening the hull, scratching new fender boxes, converting the engine deck and running gear, and also a fairly complete rebuild of the turret, but it's something completely different, so it's worth the effort.
So thanks again, but I'm not gonna need the parts, and looking at your builds at the Photo Bucket site, you do wonderfull things with them yourself, so they are not gonna be lost in the spare box, I think.
I liked your early IDF Centurion, it looks much cleaner then the upgraded later versions!
Cheers,
Alex |
