Dear All, I'd very much appreciate some expertise. I have some Armourfast Cromwells that I made at the beginning of my modelling career about 10 years ago and I thought the riveted turret faces were extra bolt-on armour and so chose not to include them. Of course they're actually meant to be part of the tank. The result is I have Cromwells with useless turrets. I read that Centaur Kangaroos were used in NWE and wondered if anyone could provide a few more details or photos of numbers, units, operations etc. so I can decide if I can convert them? I've found very little on the web about them beyond the Wiki page. Many thanks in advance, Peter |

I don't think the Centaur Kangaroo really got off the ground. There are a couple of other turretless variants you could do: Centaur dozer, Centaur or Cromwell ARV |

You could always just drape the turrets in stowage and camo nets and use them as gun tanks…. |

You could always use sheet plastic and decal set rivets to replace the missing pieces. Archer has a variety of sizes and scales and they work really good. link |

you could of course replace the turrets with our hessian camo ones:-
and of course our arv and centaur dozer conversion sets!. link |
