I would love to see the Centurion as a cheaper second MBT choice for the Brits, like the M60 for the US and the Leo 1 for the West Germans. Even the Soviets and East Germans have two choices each. BAOR only has one (albeit with two turret variants). |
| nickinsomerset | 29 Jan 2018 11:40 p.m. PST |
But the Centurion was out of service s an MBT in the early 70s so a stretch even for TY! Always go for the Danes, Tally Ho! |

Does look a strange choice. Unless of course as Nick suggested your doing a Danish force or even the Arab Israeli wars. |
| shaun from s and s models | 30 Jan 2018 8:07 a.m. PST |
what about the avre, art op, bridgelayer ect?
they were in ty time |
| Vigilant | 30 Jan 2018 8:32 a.m. PST |
Australian in Vietnam. Would need a different rear deck for the Israeli version or the South African Oliphant which were still in service in the late 80s. |
| Pan Marek | 30 Jan 2018 9:40 a.m. PST |
Good for 67-73 Israelis, as they have the 105mm option. Now, how about making it in 20mm/1/72? |
| bruntonboy | 30 Jan 2018 10:16 a.m. PST |
Strange choice? In service for 30 years and the most combat proven post war British tank? Even in a setting of the mid 1980's you could see them in Danish or Swedish service. It's an inspired choice IMHO. |

Glad you like them boys!. (smile) Amicalement

Yes Brutonboy, if you read that is what we said. The strange choice alluded to them as a 2nd choice for the British, when very few gun tanks by the end of the 70s were RA OP vehicles, Tally Ho! |
| Timbo W | 30 Jan 2018 12:29 p.m. PST |
Apparently the UK still had 600 or so stored in sheds up until the end of the Cold War |
| bruntonboy | 31 Jan 2018 12:33 a.m. PST |
It wasn't clear that was your meaning, but fair point. |
| mysteron | 31 Jan 2018 4:35 a.m. PST |
I think it all boils down to its not what we expected bearing in mind the multitude of other tanks and AFVs that could have be chosen. But they will be very useful to some and a welcome addition. Whether or not they will sell enough in plastic to recoup their costs is another matter. |
| Col Piron | 01 Feb 2018 10:21 a.m. PST |
Some Dutch brigades still had Centurions in the 1980's |
| 15mm and 28mm Fanatik | 01 Feb 2018 12:53 p.m. PST |
But the Centurion was out of service as an MBT in the early 70s so a stretch even for TY! Perhaps PSC should have went with the Chally 1? |
| Panfilov | 01 Feb 2018 3:55 p.m. PST |
1967 and 1973 Mideast? Korea Weird War 1946? Domestic Nostalgia? |
| nickinsomerset | 01 Feb 2018 11:27 p.m. PST |
Perhaps PSC should have went with the Chally 1? A more logical choice as BAOR was equipped with both during the mid-late 80s. Tally Ho! |
| mysteron | 02 Feb 2018 4:29 a.m. PST |
I agree with the Challenger 1 as it could be used in Cold War scenarios and Cold War seems to be flavour of the month at the moment. So potentially it could be a good seller. |
| Beaumap | 12 Feb 2018 11:53 a.m. PST |
This is premature. I see no Centurion in the British Modern section of the PSC site. Neither is there a release date or even a master. Anyway, this is a projected metal/resin model by Armies Army (who they have just bought), not a plastic kit produced by PSC. |
| LDC271 | 12 Feb 2018 4:43 p.m. PST |
@nickinsomerset
PSC will probably announce a plastic Chally 1&2 box set if BF announce theirs in resin. :-) |
| Andy Tea | 27 Feb 2019 3:28 a.m. PST |
sorry for the thread necromancy but does anyone know anything about this – is it still in the pipeline I'm in the midst of designing a 1980s Jordanian army for Team Tankee and could do with Centurions so I can make Tariq Tanks cheers |
| Gennorm | 27 Feb 2019 1:07 p.m. PST |
Not listed as coming on the PSC site. The link shows the ArmiesArmy brand but they're never in stock. Best not hold your breath. |
| 15mm and 28mm Fanatik | 27 Feb 2019 5:36 p.m. PST |
Too late. BF will be releasing Centurions in plastic very soon: link PSC would only do models if they can beat BF to the punch, like they did with the Leo 1, T-55 and M60.

Resin? I find that the brittle tracks can easily break off. At least make those in metal. PSC should definitely do some in plastic then. |
| Andy Tea | 28 Feb 2019 5:23 a.m. PST |
Those BF Centurions are resin and metal
they are also my back up plan for if PSC don't make any plastic ones |
| 15mm and 28mm Fanatik | 28 Feb 2019 8:37 a.m. PST |
There's a good chance PSC will release them based on their past record. They released plastic Leo 1's and T-55's between BF's resin/metal and plastic releases for those tanks. I'd wait for an all plastic kit because resin is just too brittle. |
| Gennorm | 28 Feb 2019 10:28 a.m. PST |
The BF are fine if you want 2 Dusters to every 5 Centurions. |
| Pan Marek | 01 Mar 2019 10:52 a.m. PST |
Please do 1/72!!
All my AIW stuff is in that scale, the diecasts do not have
the 105mm and full-on plastic models are too fiddly. |
| Tango01 | 20 Feb 2020 3:15 p.m. PST |
Those looks good…!

I can use a couple of spare Dusters, if anyone has extras and would like to sell them. |
