Hello everyone

I am at present building a Tamiya 1/25 Centurion and i was wondering what colour to paint the inside as there is quite a bit of detail showing.

Thanks Dave

Hi Dave, just got off the phone with me Dad about your question, he sould know the interior of the Centurion as he drove the Mk5/2, it was white, when it was lock down you could still see what you was doing.

Hope this helps you out.

Not a problem Dave, it's just nice to know someone that's in "the know". Looking forward to see her finished.

Does anyone know what colour the engine details were painted? somehow I doubt they were painted metallic grey...

I looked online but there were only pictures of the engine block itself and they varied from white to grey to yellow or even silver

It's weird how there's so few references for such an important tank

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi the inside colour ofa British Army Centurion tank was Silver, engine colour known as Duck Egg Green and external colour Bronze Green. Crewed one for 2 years back in 1968 to 1970 in Germany. Regards John Mooore
