![]() ![]() The manual has 80 total steps compared to tanks like the Abrams 55 steps, Pershing's 49 steps and the Sheridan's 60 steps. There are A LOT of parts compared to most other Tamiya tanks. Once painted though the tone difference becomes irrelevant. The quality of the parts and instruction included are typical Tamiya quality, but the plastic seem to feel slightly thicker then past tanks and some of the parts have a different tone of green. It is nothing like the ones that came with many of the more recent releases and sadly follows the trend backwards like what was started with the Sheridan tank a few years ago. Tamiya basically upscales a 1/35 model box. The box the Centurion come in was a huge let down considering the ~$1200 price tag. ![]() For me the visual of the suspension movement really brings the tank to "life". With the skirts on, the majority of this movement is hidden. Simply because I like the look of the tank without them and that there is a lot going on with the suspension as the tank moves over rough ground. ![]() Everything has a price, but I am not ready to sell it yet. It was either IDF or Australian both I liked, but since I drive my tanks in mostly a desert environment the IDF theme made for a better choice. Its overall dimensions were taken from a vintage Tamiya Leopard 1 barrel which I "kit bashed" for the fume extractor. YES it is actually as big as it looks in the photos and even more so in person, Is it actually as big as the side by side photos indicate in your "photo build log" thread or is it just the way the photos were taken? Tamiya gives you your moneys worth in both an involved build and end product.ΔΆ. To answer a few common question I have been asked both here and elsewhere to get started. Let us all understand everyone has their own needs and build style so please keep the comments constructive. This thread is being started at the request of several members to discuss the build process more in depth (pros & cons) and the overall drive/handling performance. ![]()
