Military Miniatures in Review No.13


AA was kind enough to send as along a cool selection of photos of their new Centurion AYRE 165 (Gulf War). This is their typical resin, PE and white metal deal. It makes up the ultra long-in-the-tooth version of the Centurion used in the 1991 conflict It's kind of hard to believe that the use of this tank spans almost fifty years. The model is all decked out with the up-armored lower hull, passive side armor, reactive turret and hull front armor, smoke dischargers and MIMIC coil. AA likes to do the value thing, so the kit includes all the equipment, stowage and fittings needed to really trick it out Interesting to note that the kit is specifically described as "minus facine cradle." Some of AA's other engineering vehicles have been released in different configurations, so maybe we'll see more of the 165. AA's kit number here is K76 and the listed UK retail is 187.50. This is usually higher outside Great Britain. Squadron Signal is "The Man" in the US.
