About product

1:35 Centurion — tie-down loops, style 5 (Lithokraft)

A 3D-printed resin set in 1:35 scale. It holds the tie-down loops, that is the steel eyes welded to the hull and the superstructure of the British Centurion tank, by which the vehicle was lashed down for transport. The manufacturer offers several styles designated Style 1 to Style 5, and this is style 5. It is a detail accessory, not a kit of the vehicle.

The real subject

The Centurion was a British main battle tank that arrived at the very end of the Second World War and stayed in service with a number of armies into the 1990s. Over that long career it went through dozens of versions and countless modifications, so the shape of its small metal details changes from batch to batch and from army to army. The tie-down loops held the tank on a railroad flatcar and on a lowboy semi-trailer, and they belong among the things that a kit renders only roughly or leaves out altogether.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water. Cut the print supports off with a sharp scalpel and level the pad under the loop so that the part sits against the armor without a gap. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and mark the position in advance with a faint line, because once it has set there is no correcting it. Paint them together with the vehicle, after gluing, and then bring out the small loops with a dark wash and wear on the edges where the cable rubbed.

Who the set is for

  • modelers of the Centurion tank in its British and export versions
  • anyone after accurate metal detail on the armor
  • builders of transport scenes with a flatcar or a lowboy semi-trailer
  • more advanced modelers with resin experience

This is an accessory for the model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The vehicle was lashed down by them for transport on a railroad flatcar or on a lowboy semi-trailer. They are small steel eyes welded to the hull and the superstructure.

Under the designations Style 1 to Style 5 the manufacturer lists the different shapes of loop that the Centurion carried over its long career. Check which one your vehicle has against photographs.

The manufacturer does not state the number, so check it on the box. On the vehicle the loops appear in larger numbers, usually along both sides of the hull.
