Hey
I have just finished 2 of the new 1:35 Centurion Mk 5 model from Amusing, much better plastic then the Afv Club one. I made it as Danish late 1970ties, with MR models 910 liter armoured trailer. And a 1985 modified Centurion Mk. 5/2 DK.

I have made following changes to the early model:
IR projektor from a Italeri Leopard kit.
Mantlet cover from AFV Club No. 35009
12,7mm (o,50") Heavy Machine Gun from Asuka
84mm (20 Pdr) gun from a Afv Club Centurion kit.
The turret basket is scratch build/Changed Afv Club Shot Cal basket.
Camo net is a Ak 8059 Net, with gaze net as filling inside, to make it fat.
Decals are from the big shoe box, most of them from Echelon Leopard 2 T35008.
Painted with Hataka A286 Danish Green (SK/80).

My second 1:35 Centurion Mk 5 model from Amusing. I made it as Danish late Centurion with laser range finder, and night vision equipment. Painted with Hataka A286 Danish Green (SK/80).
Changes:
105mm L7 gun from a Dragon kit.
Scratch build laser and nigth vision. (PZB 200 from Meng Leo 1A3)
Asuka/Tasca 0,50 Heavy machine gun.
IR projector from Meng Leopard 1A3.
Barracuda camo net from AK No AK8059.
Mantlet cover from AFV Club No. 35009
Scratch build turret basket.
Idle wheel copy of a Challenger I.

I like the Amusing Centurion :
For their single link tracks,
Road wheels are in one piece.
Their plastic is like Tamiya quality.

Dont like Amusing for more or less copying Afv Club parts…
You only get the early 84mm gun.
Like Afv Club, they dont provide a mantlet cover. And uses real shining springs in the tanks suspension.

I dont like Afv Club Centurions for:
Soft rubber band tracks.
Road wheels are 2 part, rubber and plastic glued together.
Some of the Afv Club plastic is very soft,

I have build more than 7 Afv Club Centurions, and have more than 5 in my stash
This is my 2 Amusing Centurion.
