You mean the Centaur Taurus 17-pdr Gun Tractor ?



Only nine were converted by MG Cars of Abingdon (but you probably knew that already ).

Hi Jerry

You don't by any chance mean the conversion done on the Crusader tank, not the Cromwell?

Accurate Armour did a resin conversion, which isn't currently available..

Yep,that's the one,thanks buddy.
Too bad it's OOP though. I don't know if I have the suitable fever to scatchbuild one at the moment.

Hi Jerry

You might be lucky and find it on Ebay, although I doubt it'll go cheaply.

give AA a call, could have one put in production for you depending on the molds condition.

That is an idea,yes.
Since I used to be in the resin biz though,I know how that usually works. If a product is OOP the molds usually are NOT in good condition or maybe not even in existence any longer.
Thanks for the idea though,
