2) Australian armour Centurion Mk.5s served with the RAAC in Vietnam. Due to the lightly armed nature of their adversaries, the greatest danger to them was from mines. They were generally deployed alongside M113 APCs. The model is from Airfix. This has been modified by the addition of wire whip aerials, and the jerry-can holder on the back of the turret. I built the holder from plastic coated wire and a small rectangle of net curtain mesh. Holes were drilled in the turret to superglue the wire into.
