Is the hull supposed to be a Centurion hull?

Thanks, I surely hope Amusing Hobby does not go the multi wheel part way like AFV Club or HobbyBoss.

Well this is a must-buy for me! I love how now we can get models of the weird and wonderful found parked around the Tank Museum at Bovington. Got hooked for life as a kid it seems :-)

You gotta wonder about Amusing Hobby though. Conqueror hull. Centurion hull. All we need is a Centurion turret and we may get a AH Centurion and Caernarvon!

I'm still -impatiently- waiting for the long-ago announced Ferdinand with full interior that hasn't even showed-up on their website yet!

The Ferdinand was displayed at Nurnberg Hobbby show and Amusing Hobby have posted photos on their FB page.

Thanks for the excellent Ferdinand photos. Now for supplying the real thing? Their web page should have it as some of us never go to FB. Just not my thing and I like it that way.

It is in stock in European retailers so I guess you will be able to pick it up soon in your area too.

Regarding FB, I agree with you, although there are many great groups that supply great info and photos on specific matters. I use it as an extra source of info and not as a means of socialising. Just create a profile and join groups of interest.
