I just saw the British Centurion and it's actually quite tempting....however I'm only interested in the Israelis Centurion(Shot) which is armed with the L7 105mm gun instead of the 20(83mm) pounder gun because I value its historical importance.

So does anyone know or is there any hint what would be the scheme for the next Centurion release and when could we expect it to hit the shelves? Thanks

themotorpool.net may have your answer, they have an Israeli Centurion listed for pre-order

Really?

I tried looking for any info on motor pool site but could not find any.
Could you give us the direct link..if it is possible?

I'm glad I didn't buy the British Mk 5 Centurion if Minichamps is indeed going to release an Israeli scheme.

Nice models, but $189.99... Ouch!

However, I agree this would be the Centurion to have.

Hey that isn't a Minichamps model......

Gulp at $199.00 .....that's twice of a Minichamps price tag.

What brand is it?

If I remember well what it says on the site, it's a MotorPool Collection special model, but it is based on the Minichamps mould with appropriate mods/new paint scheme (I hope they get the 105mm gun right).

That's one of their inhouse specials, not a Minichamps release. At least they know what the market out there wants. Now does Minichamps I wonder?

Minichamps is a very German-centric company. So, anything related to Germany gets priority even if the selection is lame in the eyes of everyone else. Minichamps has done it with passenger and racing cars (you have no idea how many Porsche Carrera Cup 996 GT3 racers have been made) ad nauseam.
