More info1/16 R/C British Battle Tank Centurion Mk.III Full-Option Kit
Tamiya is delighted to announce that our 1/16 R/C tank series welcomes a new addition – this time, the Centurion Mk. III.
The Centurion was developed as a heavy cruiser tank to counter the powerful German Army’s tanks in the 1942 during the WWII. The Mk. III was perhaps the most polished Centurion variant, equipped with the L/66.7 20 pounder long barrel gun. It was deployed in the Korean War in 1950, and showed off overwhelming strength which saved the Allied forces from crisis many times.
The production reached about 2,800 between 1948 and 1956. After the Korean War, the Mk. III were deployed in European countries but also other areas such as India, Israel, and Egypt with their formidable force.
