Thanks! The photos will be of great help to me. Piotr

Hi guys, I will be doing Academy M60A1 RISE/ERA with M9 dozer blade as my next modelling project. I will be doing it as an USMC tank from the Operation Desert Storm91 timeframe. After thorough research in the net (here, on this site and others) I know that Academy did the dozer assembly wrong...

Matt, Your memories are true. A fellow modeller on another forum who worked as a British MBT optics serviceman for 40 years has informed me, that only driver's periscopes and commander's cupola vision periscopes were made from clear glass. The gunnery optics, i.e. gunner's main sight or...

Thanks Jenny, When you last pointed me towards that Centurion walkaround I wasn't able to find it on the new site, and I was wondering why. Now I know they were left behind. ;) I'll add your walkaround to my collection. Thanks again! Piotr :thumbsup

Hi guys, The title says it all. Was Centurion's periscope/optics glass tinted in any colour? I searched several Centurion walkarounds on the web, but I can't determine if the optics of this tank had any colour coating, or was simply a clear glass. I am doing the Aussie Centurion, but I...

Dave, You just have shown me a good method to produce headphones for my Aussie Centurion in Vietnam! I was looking for a proper way to reproduce these. Thanks, Piotr

That's a superb rendition of T-55, Bucket, congrats on this one! Piotr

Hey, guys, I have another tough question for you. I am finishing the turret details of my Aussie Centurion Vietnam version – the AFV Club kit. It is known from many photos of Aussie Centurions in Vietnam that the crews used a kind of sunshade cover over the turret, made from rectangular...

The photo Randy, Is it possible for you to share the picture on the forum? I would be interested in seeing it. If not, would you send me that pic by PM? Thanks, Piotr :)

Shawn, I was told by a fellow modeller on another site that the cassette players were in use at the Vietnam war timeframe for sure. He told me that soldiers there used them to receive and read the voice mail sent on cassettes from their families at home. But he added that at that time the...

Hi guys, I just wanted to know whether portable (battery powered) cassette players were used by U.S. and Aussie soldiers in Vietnam? I just wanted to put one on the turret of my Aussie Centurion Mk. 5/1 from AFV Club. This cassette player comes from Academy modern accessories set#1383 as seen...

Mike, Many thanks for your detailed answer, now I know what weapons to place on my Cent. Piotr

Hi guys, I am in the process of building an Aussie Centurion (Vietnam era) from the AFV Club kit. I want to depict a tank which will be having, apart from the usual stowage items placed in the turret basket or on the engine deck, also a couple of crew's personal weapons lying here and there...
