Trumpeter 1/35 B1 Centauro AFV 01564 - Robust Scale Kit

The Trumpeter 1/35 B1 Centauro AFV Early Version (2nd Series) with Upgrade Armour models the Centauro's combination of mobility and protection in miniature. The kit highlights the reinforced armour panels and retains accurate proportions for a convincing small-scale representation.

Development and Tactical Role

Developed in the 1980s, the B1 Centauro provided a wheeled platform with firepower and mobility, suited for reconnaissance and rapid engagement. The early series upgrades improved its battlefield resilience, and the model shows these field changes clearly in the parts layout.

Construction Notes and Presentation

Assembly demands patience: small fittings and detailed elements need careful handling. When finished with appropriate paint and weathering, the model makes a strong display piece and works well in tactical dioramas or shelf displays.
