Phil so you managed to simulate the rim weld then?

Yep no problem, you have a machined 45° angle to follow. The 1/1 road wheel must have been machine welded as it was very consistent almost perfect! It should look pretty good painted but you will have to wait and see.
I may have a go at the road wheel id numbers, although they are impressions rather than raised it may add interest, I shall also consider reproducing the road tyre id numbers.

Hi Derek it's TS61 NATO green, I shall use this as a base on all surfaces but will then use the xf range of NATO shades blended to give depth, Sun bleaching, rain staining and so on.
The rattle can TS paint range is expensive but in my opinion the very best you can buy, to cover such a large vehicle like the Centurion will take many cans!

Can anyone confirm the tyre size please, it's very tricky to read?

31.6 inch diameter is quoted in the handbook.

I decided get the off side road wheels all cleaned up and the scalloping completed today, what a mess.
