With the Centurion at prototype stage I've started on the next: PT-76

Excellent.

I like the look of the PT-76.
Look forward to seeing it printed.

It'll certainly be cheaper than the 1/48th Tank-Mania one.

And a lot more realistic than the 1/50 Solido one.

There was a Spanish company that made one in 1/50 (Combat Company?)but IIRC they went tits up. I think Rich’s version will be much nicer, judging by the previous vehicles in the range.

Read deck details

Currently trying to work out if the grills shoudl be recessed (As I have them here) or flush... details are sketchy...

Definitely recessed as seen in the top photo.

Of if you want to do one of the PT-76s that attcked the Ben Het Special Forces camp then you can 'recess' pretty much the entire engine deck.

Here's a good site with plenty of detailed views:

You might want to think about doing an alternate, early barrel as an option, PT-76's don't seen to have carried much external stowage anyway apart from the occasional photo of fuel drums and the snorkel of course. Very much in the minority but there are photos showing the earlier production models in Vietnam with the straight barrel and slotted muzzle brake.

Thanks

Both barrels was the plan

Old gun

Rear deck detail

Detail growing....

nice start indeed how often were they encountered in Vietnam?

No clue... apparently enough to warrant making them
