A 47 years old love

[Frank Breitenbach]

Hello I am Frank from Germany. When I was 12 I played the first time with a tank model. It was a Centurion. All the years I tried to find a rc model. This year I bought the Cent from Fabrice.
I had spoken with Stephen Withe at Bovington about the Cent. He give me the idea to build a Cent from the 4th tank army.
Now my first steps.
Frank

I hope i works with the picture.

I will be following your build closely

Kind regards
Fabrice

Knowing Frank's expertise in building it will be very good.

Great , another Cent build
I must make a start on no 55 !

[Frank Breitenbach]

Hello Dennis and David
There are many very good Cent models. They spend a lot of ideas what it is possible to realize.
I bought a Cent kit 1/25 with the engine room interior and from Frank Fleischer I get the dozer blade.
Well at first I am going to build the improvements like Stephen at the gearboxes and then the chain transmission to the electric motors.

Merry Christmas and all the best for 2016 to you and your families.

Cheers
Frank

If I'm not mistaken .If we all get these Cents finished ,there will only be the Cent ark unbuilt from the engineering type vehicles .There will be the Barv, Arv 2,Bridge layer, Avre.
If I had known there was still this many to be built, I could have had more wheel hub caps made.Oh well maybe when Chieftain makes an appearance
