Now available this is the long awaited new tooling from Academy of the classic British designed Centurion.

Features of the kit include,workable suspension, rubber Rims, metal barrel with rifling, metal coax machine gun, photo etch parts

The kit represents the Mk.5/1 (Aust) with the designation used to identify the vehicles with a range of modifications basically equivalent to the Mk.10 except retaining the 20pdr gun with type B barrel that included the fume extractor. Other notable alterations included additional appliqué armour added to the glacis, the inclusion of an additional RMG (Ranging Machine Gun) in the form of a .50cal MG added through the mantlet next to the standard .30cal co-axial machine gun, plus a number of other “local” modifications. With the deployment to Vietnam in 1968 further modifications were added due to operational experience and the kit includes many of these modifications faithfully.

The kits consists of 410 parts in olive drab plastic, 18 in clear plastic with a metal barrel and co-ax MG, six large suspension springs, 26 vinyl tyres and the vinyl tracks plus a length of steel cable and a selection of vinyl poly caps as well as a small piece of mesh with the decal sheet and small fret of etched parts.
