Resin tie-down loops for the Centurion, style 3 in 1:35 scale replace the molded lumps on the hull of the British tank. It is an accessory for a built model, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
Resin tie-down loops for models of the British Centurion main battle tank in 1:35 scale, in the pattern designated style 3. The loops around the hull served for lashing down a tarpaulin, cargo and equipment, and on injection-molded kits they tend to be reduced to a molded lump with no hole through it. A resin print holds a thin profile, so the loop reads as a loop and not as a lug.
The Centurion was designed at the very end of the Second World War as a British universal tank that was to combine firepower, armor and mobility in one machine. It was too late for the fighting, but it stayed in service for decades and became one of the most successful tanks of the post-war era. It was given progressively heavier armament, from the 20-pounder up to the British 105 mm L7 gun. It fought in Korea, in the Middle East and in Vietnam and served in a great many countries. Crews routinely lashed equipment to the hull, so the tie-down loops are a prominent detail on it.
Cut the supports and the remains of the print raft away with a sharp scalpel over a mat; do not break them off. Level the cut with a file or a sanding sponge under water so that no dust is raised. Wash the parts in warm soapy water before painting and let them dry. They are bonded with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); polystyrene cement will not join resin. Paint then holds considerably better over primer.
This is an accessory for modifying a model, not a kit of the vehicle. The parts are supplied unpainted; the base kit, the glue and the paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Check the exact contents on the box.
