When Armortek produced the Centurion I believe they made a very small batch of IDF Centurions (Israeli). Does anyone know what difference there were between the standard kit and the IDF ones.

Re: IDF Centurion
Not sure what differences there were in the kit versions but Google & Wiki research suggests IDF Cents had a different cupola and turret basket ( visual differences ) and were fitted with diesel engines .

Re: IDF Centurion
The diesel engines meant different rear decks.
I don't think Armortek would have made IDF ones. I don't remember anything at the time and there's nothing on the forum about an IDF version.

Re: IDF Centurion
Hello all,
I'm with Adrian, to the best of my knowledge Armortek only made a Meteor engined Cent. I've still got the flyer somewhere for it!
Cheers,
Alex

Re: IDF Centurion
The Centurion was released by Armortek as a Mk V. I’m sure one owner altered his to an IDF version but cannot for the life of me remember who. Think it will be a case of scan all the Cent build threads.
If I recall, will let you know.

Re: IDF Centurion
I was hoping someone would know what was changed as I have the chance to buy one but the owner has never opened the boxes and cannot remember what was changed.

Re: IDF Centurion
Luc De Weirdt from Belgium built an IDF centurion, I have no idea if this was modified beyond the paint, I don't know if he still has this tank.

Re: IDF Centurion
Luc’s was a bog standard kit. I dimly remember something about a batch of six being made for a customer. Don’t know what mods were made, if any. At the time there was a hope that Cent would open more markets in the Middle East but I believe the batch were made for a UK customer.
