Hi Baz,

I think you know an other guy, probably we use the same name. My back is alright for the last 22 years...

In addition, to remind the Centurion  AVLB😅, some pics of my Israeli M60 AVLB I build 1990 and took part at the Euro Military competition '91 in Folkstone. I could had be runner-up in my category, but failed in converting yards to centimeters and missed because of an, at least 18mm to large groundplate...🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️😅

😅 Pretty easy!👍🏻

Hello Tony,

thanks for your response, l'll try to post pics of my actual dio.

It's my first time in a forum, I don't possess a computer and manage all online-stuff with my Samsung S9, no joke!😅

The first three were taken today, showing the missing waves and the-worst-work-to-do: painting figures🙇🏻‍♂️ but I look forward to finish it...

Hi ya

 

Well what can I say about myself well lets just start at the begging.

Served 14 years in the ARMY until 1987 in the Armoured Engineers where I served on Centurion ARK, AVRE.BRIDGELAYER also Chieftain AVLB and AVRE. Becoming a Driver Mech B1 & a commander.

I then after leaving the army I was apart of the Duxford restoration society looking after a lot of different vehicles. I was involved with the Centurion AVRE on scrap heap challenge.

I now work on tanks for a living for the MOD.

I AM mad about Centurions. Been involved with AFV CLUB with the design for there Centurion plastic kit range.

So I hope I can help some one some time.

Would love to own a Centurion strv 104 or Chieftain AVLB. But I do not own anything at this moment in time.

Hello everybody,

my name is Andi, I'm 55y. old, from Bavaria, no soccer-fan, just 1/32-35scale modeller and so a special 'Hello' to Ossie!

My actual dio, with Trumpeter's Fairey Swordfish I converted to the float version, is after some 350 hours soon coming to an end and my next madness, I decided to plunge in, may could, should, would be a Centurion AVLB...🙏🏻

Although I already bought the AFV handbook, some awesome books about the tank and Australian armor in Vietnam, unfortunately there will never be enough satisfying pictures...🙈

Also l found some good pics online, but none about the bridgesection inner sides, their connections, single/pair links...🙇🏻‍♂️

Do you or anyone else of the friendly bunch know if such photographs, or, ideally a bridge constructionplan, exists anywhere and how to come in possesion of this desprately needed things?

Kind regards

Andi
