This kit takes the classic 1/25 scale Centurion Mk.III model from 1973 and turns it into an all-action R/C model. The version sold in the U.S. features parts to render the turret controllable.
The Centurion was developed by the British toward the end of WWII and received a number of upgrades during its post-war service as the main British tank. The Mk.III featured a powerful 20-pounder main gun and gained recognition for its service in the Korean War. With around 2,800 examples rolling off the production line between 1948 and 1956, it was the most produced tank of the Centurion series. Deployed not just by Britain but also by clients such as India, Israel and Egypt, they were a formidable force in whatever military's colors they were used.
