Product: 1:16 RC Brit. Centurion Mk.III w/Option
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.
