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

Centurion Mk.III Recreated in 1/16 Scale by Tamiya 56045

For modelers and military history fans, the Tamiya Centurion Mk.III is a faithful scale tribute to an influential postwar tank. Developed in response to heavy German armor such as the Tiger and Panther, the Centurion arrived too late for World War II but proved its worth in later conflicts, notably during the Korean War where it earned praise for reliability and battlefield performance.

Accurate Construction and Realistic Suspension

This 1/16 scale kit captures the look and mechanics of the Centurion Mk.III with careful detailing. Tamiya supplies a machined aluminium main gun barrel and replicates the Horstmann suspension to mirror the original layout, while an optional canvas gun shield cover adds display authenticity.

Faithful 20 Pounder Gun Detail

The distinctive 20 pounder main gun is reproduced on this model, reflecting the armament upgrade that defined the Centurion's early variants. The model's sloped armour lines and compact silhouette are represented to give an accurate visual and scale presence.

Interactive Play with Tamiya Battle System Support

The model is compatible with the Tamiya Battle System, sold separately, for interactive tank engagements. The included control unit manages drive and turret functions, and the built-in speaker provides synchronized engine and firing sounds for a more immersive run session.

The Tamiya Centurion Mk.III blends precise scale modelling with functional RC systems, making it a solid pick for collectors and hobbyists who want an authentic driving and display model.
