Hi chaps, now my Yamato is getting near to completion my mind has wondered onto what's next I have 1/200 HMS Hood and 1/350 HMS Dreadnaught in my stash but I fancy a change from ships, I like detailed fairly difficult builds and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions ?
Brian
 
What kind of direction are you thinking?
And by difficult do you mean pure dog of a kit that needs more filler and sanding, or just fiddly and over engineered with lots of small parts?

Hi Karl the latter m8 I like fiddly stuff direction, not too sure my father drove a centurion in the early fifty's so a Tank would hold some interest :)

AFV Club do a few Centurions, they're usually satisfying to build.
There's an older Tamiya one too but that was designed around the twin motor gear box that made it RC. (Cabled)
There's also a 1/25 Tamiya one, but hard to find at a reasonable price, and the one I did had no tracks in the box.

As Karl says, AFV Club does a whole range of Centurions, and they are pretty good kits but with a good number of fiddly parts (because it’s AFV Club :) ) so that sounds like it would be right up your alley.

The old Tamiya one and its Academy clone aren’t very good, and best left alone — it’s about 50 years old by now, and that showed 30 years ago, never mind today. There are also some by Amusing Hobby but I don’t know how good they are, as I’ve never seen one, let alone built it.
 
WOT Bri i was hopein to see you do that hms hood you just cant upsticks an leave the floaty section just like that as its the dark side an it dont let you go very easy at all lol :rolling: :tongue-out3::tongue-out3::smiling5::smiling5: but if you into starwars then you can be forgiven but when you done the model you have ordered id like to see you build a star desroyer in a fair sized scale
