Tamiya 56045 Centurion Mk.III 1/16 Scale Full-Option Tank Kit  [56045]

Tamiya 56045 Centurion Mk.III - Classic Medium Tank in 1/16

Hobbyists and history fans will appreciate the Tamiya Centurion Mk.III as both a scale model and a mechanical replica. Born from postwar British efforts to match heavy German armour, the Centurion missed World War II but excelled in later engagements, notably proving effective and durable during the Korean conflict.

Detailed Build with Authentic Running Gear

This 1/16 model reflects the real vehicle with care, featuring a machined aluminium main gun barrel and an accurate Horstmann suspension layout. An optional canvas gun shield is included to enhance realism for display builds.

Recreation of the 20 Pounder Main Armament

The Centurion Mk.III's signature 20 pounder gun is faithfully modelled, and the kit highlights the tank's characteristic sloped armour and compact hull lines that contributed to its battlefield performance.

Battle System Ready for Group Engagements

To run interactive battles, the Tamiya Battle System can be added separately. The kit's control unit handles mobility and turret action, while the speaker unit supplies engine and weapon sounds timed to the model's movements.

Tamiya's Centurion Mk.III combines accurate external detailing with usable RC systems for collectors who want both display fidelity and running capability.
