I have one of those HobbyBoss V-150 variants in my stash....and I think I might break it out sooner then I thought.Wink [;)] Art Instructor did a great job on that V-150(except for the glossy tires), I especially like the subtle weathering.

MM,

Not looking for things to crtitcise, but I can't help thinking that the main gu barrel on the V-150 seems to be angled up slightly in relation to the housing. It should be parallel with the coax MG. Also, the left rear tyre appears backwards compared to the other 3. When viewed from the front, the "V" of the tread pattern should be pointing down.

Many thanks for all kind comments! I really appreciate them!

Phil, your comments are right. The main gun should be parallel with the co-ax gun. I also noticed the backwarded tire. At least the tires of the B-1 "Centauro" are all correct. 

Within 24 hours I'll make available a new page showing three more armors - not from AI but from two other modelers. ;-)

Great job on both of 'em MM.

I'm thinking I might go pick up the Centauro soon.  The wife will probably blow a gasket; but I'm pretty sure she'll get over it!  Big Smile [:D]

Thanks so much for your kind words, RESlusher!

The Centauro doesn't cost too much, I think I paid just $25 for it. I hope your wife won't mind your purchase.
