Response to Confused About AFV Club's Centurion Mantlet Covers !

On the front of each box it gives the Mark of Centurion each mantlet cover is designed for.

Type A- Mk.6/2, Mk.11, Australian Mk.5/1

Type B- Mk.3, Mk.5, Mk.5/1, Mk.6, Mk.7, Mk.7/1

Essentially what the selection comes down to is whether the mantlet has just the coax port or the coax port with the ranging gun port. This of course will depend on the Mark of the tank.

If you build the AFV Club NATO Centurion Mk.5/2 / Mk. 6 out of the box you will only use the mantlet with the single coax port....therefore use the Type B mantlet.

There are unsued parts in the kit that will allow you to modify the kit into a Mk. 5/1 or Mk. 6/2 or Mk. 11 so then you could use the Type A mantlet. The instructions just don't mention the parts as they are left over from the Ausie Mk.5/1 kit.
