Its a nice looking model and well done in my opinion but 95 is a little extreme

Agreed, Steve.
How much are the 'unmade kits' for those ?

£95! That seems like daylight robbery.

By the way, I'm half way through watching "Lebanon" on Netflix. Israeli film about one of the Arab-Israeli conflicts, can't remember which. It's set inside atank, which so far hasn't been seen externally, but from the film poster appears to be a Centurion variant.

If anyone has seen the film, could they tell me if the tank gets out alive?

Eeep, the base kit is £18.50. For a 1/72nd model!

I'd expect a platoon for that price :D

Nice job and his other tanks look great as well, but £95... no. Just no. I suspect he's hoping to catch World of Tanks players who don't scale model/wargame and desperately want "their" tank?

Are you talking about the Beast of War from 1988?

(could be your description but is about afganistan - soviet war)

Nope. It's an Israeli film, called "Lebanon".

What I don't understand is why the Centurion is £95 and the FV4202 is only £75.

Centurion is bigger, so more work perhaps?

Centurion is stylish, classic, imposing. Puts a chill down the spine just to contemplate it. It is romantic, battle hardened and has a history. It is a link between the

The other is just a Chieftain.

Not knocking Chieftains - but they're not Centurions are they?
