The hull has already been a pig.  The upper glacis is curved all over the place. 
Also I didn't realise the hull was almost full width to the rear.  Going to be 'interesting'

OTOH because they recycled the Centurion suspension units I could too :D

Does this mean someone is going to make 1980s British Army?
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio năo tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeăo mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Empress posted up a interview from Wargamers Illustrated and stated that they plane on doing some 1980's Brits.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Yes indeed, assuming they are Paul Hicks’ sculpts that is. Will happily replace my Gripping Beast Falklands chaps, which are getting very old in the tooth.

Pity, would love to have seen what Paul could have done.

Did Tony do the 20mm BAOR for Under Fire Miniatures?

Almost as important, does he do the rest of the Cold War range in 28mm for UFM?
