you had to scratch landing gear and interior etc. and the fit was not the best, my brother managed to get further with he's kit than me but i don't think he finnished that one either.

Yikes...maybe you can take some vacation time to work on it? 
Over the last two weeks, I have received the following. I did not take a photo yet of the Dragon T19 Halftrack I also received in a trade:
Yep, stupid me ordered a duplicate...
These sprues are to be released separately and do look nice.
Got this thinking it was the type used on the GMC (I have the Hobby Boss kit) but it turns out the British one (which I luckily have) has the correct sight mounts.
Found that I have a duplicate, I may sell it off as I don't plan on buying more Centauros.

that bofors gun looks niceis there any figures in it?
AFV Club doesn't include any figures in their Bofors guns. Lucky for me, this US one will replace the Italeri one on the PT-596 kit which I hope to convert to this:

Built the italeri one and i'm a bit dissapointed especially in the figures (the gun can be hidden under a tarp so that's no problem
Bronco makes a British Bofors gun crew and Italleri has a Bofors gun cre in their PT boat figures set.

That's a pretty cool ride

I'd love to see detailed info on how that howitzer as mounted on that halftrack. I have the ACE M-1 105mm Howitzer already and I want to get another Academy halftrack to make one of these T-19's in 1/72 scale.

I asked on a PT Boat forum about that Slipper Fuel Tank (aka Auxilary Fuel Tank) and the exhausts location. The replys from PT boat experts say that when the slipper tank was on the boat the boat exhaust were in their normal position. The heat from the exhaust was one reason the sliper tank never entered service. Also that slipper tank and scheme on your image was a STATESIDE SCHEME USED BEFORE THE BOAT WENT TO ITS TOP. Take a look at the topmost flag at the center top of the mast. That is the ELCO Company Penant.
