Tamiya item 25412 - British Army Centurion Mk.III - 1/35 scale Tanks Military Series assembly kit
In 1942, development work were just available in the Centurion, an Uk hefty cruiser tank built to counter the effectiveness of German armor. Notable design features had been the sloped frontal armor (an initial on a British tank), effective 600hp engine, and Horstmann suspension system. Firepower completed up being cared for by either the 17 pounder (76.2mm) tool or its 77mm variation. A preliminary batch of six Mk.we Centurions have already been finished in April 1945, and though that has been far too belated in order for them to attain the leading lines prior to the German surrender in-may, work proceeded on unique Centurion variants: the Mk.II was given a new cast turret, before being superseded in 1948 by the upgunned Mk.IIwe including its 20 pounder. The Mk.IIwe Centurion first saw combat action in the Korean War, showing up its really worth again and again inside the hopeless back-and-forth battle. In old age, it had been exported to militaries in europe, Asia, Israel and Egypt.
