This will be my first attempt at an AFV since coming back to the hobby. I'll be looking for suggestions etc. from those more experienced AFV builders on here, if they are willing 
Anyway, I picked this kit up from ebay for £30, which i though wasn't bad. The box is a bit battered and a few pieces had come off of the sprues in thier bags. The decals are yellow but its all there. I am going to attempt an Israerli version in Dark Yellow. I Know that their current vehicles are painted Yellow-Grey, but I don't think that the early Centurions were done in that colour. I'm happy to be corrected by those more knowledgable.
These first few shots are from the internal turret detail. The light grey is just Vajello grey primer sprayed liberally and dry brushed with tamiya metallic grey XF56. The chipping was applied by hand with a very fine brush, dabbing on MC214 Dark Iron from Mr.MetalColor. A Mix of Dark And Rust wash was applied.
The light grey primer sprayed over the Mid Grey-Blue Plastic showing the contrast.
The shell cases were sprayed with MC217 Mr.MetalColor Gold.
Images showing the bits before they are all hidden
The Ammo Boxes were Sprayed with Mr.MetalColor Stainless Steel.
Turret Base with seat, the cushion was coloured dark green and gently weathered with Tamiya weathering powder/paste 'Sand'.
Box edges chipped with Dark Iron.
The Main Gun Breach component
Turret Gearbox and commanders seat.
As always guys, I'm open to comments.
