There are some good pictures of the Centurion up on Diecastdirect.com site. I clicked on their picture, and up they came. But what I noticed is the tracks are not the usual silver metal color, but black. I hope this doesn't mean their plastic? I have most of the Minichamps tanks, and all the treads are silver metal, these Centurion tracks are different. What's up?

Tracks are still metal

They did a nice job on the Centurion.

I could not resist the Centurion when I saw it recently. I do not collect Minichamps anymore because of space but this was a must have. I stepped on the commander's Browning .30machine gun unit which fell off while I was examaning the tank. The unit was beyond repair. Aside from Minichamps themselves is there another unit/accessory that would fit and look right? Thanks in advance 'mein experten'

Well that sucks you can try buying 1/35 Centurion model kit. Try googling Centurion 1/35 model kit.

I think there's at least one company which made them recently. Of course you may need to glue it and paint it black.

Edit: I just googled it and there's a Tamiya 1/35 Centurion Mk 3 tagged at about US$23.00. I don't exactly know that the machine gun is the same but it may worth further investigation if you don't mind paying US$23.00 just to replace the browning MG. Perhaps you could build the kit without the MG, paint it in IDF color or something and give it away to me LOL.

You know i've said I'm done with armour, after dabbling with MC stuff -- and I'm by no means a big fan of this tank, but it does look really good. Hmmmmmmmmmm..........

I've got the tri-color Leo, the T-72 and the Centurian. The Centurian is the most impressive. No lack of metal on that model. The T-72 looks and feels like a plastic kit in comparison.

The Centurion is a real prize. I think it is the nicest diecast Minichamps has conjured up so far.

Thanks for that Roh. I'll spend a few bucks geting plastic and then adapting it.
