Tell you what, I'll put the 'Tarleton Brigade', the 'Aztec Army', and you in a room, and whoever's left standing gets their request granted.  How's that?!  

On a serious note, we're sending some M113's off for conversion work, and there has been mention of the Centurion.

OMG!!!  He did these 10mm tanks with plasticard      They are soo very cool indeed.

Only 1 winner with that statement

The Centurion would be very useful as it was 'used' at the end of WWII in Germany, plus essential kit for Korea.

Hi Blaker

Very cool. Was the Mk II used in the SCW by chance?   

No not the SCW but the chassis did form the basis for the Vickers Medium Mk C



which was an export model for Japan, which formed the basis for the Japanese Type 89 I-Go



which fought in China, Manchuria and early war actions against the USSR. It lasted right through the war but later as just static defence positions.

'fraid not.

The Mk III only a few (3?) built as well as 3 16 tonners (very simmilar)

Only the British and British Empire forces used the Mk IIs. India certainly recived some (single figures). One or two may have reached Canada and Australia for trianing purposes.

Talking of tanks sent overseas for training purposes reminded me of the old Centurion 169041 http://www.australian-armour.com/ARMOUR-Sep-2007.pdf
