The Tamiya Centurion Mk.III appeals to both scale modellers and RC pilots wanting a historically grounded subject. Developed to meet postwar armoured threats, the Centurion was a key British design that saw notable service after World War II, including combat in Korea where it showed strong reliability under tough conditions.
Tamiya's 1/16 rendition emphasises authentic detail with a polished aluminium main gun barrel and a faithful Horstmann suspension system. The kit also offers an optional fabric gun shield for added realism when displaying the completed model.
The prominent 20 pounder main gun is accurately represented, alongside the tank's sloped armour and sturdy profile that made it effective on the battlefield and visually distinctive at scale.
Add the Tamiya Battle System for competitive skirmishes with other 1/16 scale tanks; the included control unit and speaker give you drive, turret control and synchronized sound effects straight from the box.
With a mix of authentic styling and ready-to-run RC components, the Tamiya Centurion Mk.III is suited to modellers who want both display quality and on-field performance.
