Historical Context:

The Centurion Mk5/1 served as the main battle tank of the Royal Australian Armoured Corps during the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1971. Australian Centurions were modified for tropical operations with additional stowage, track guards, and equipment suited to jungle warfare. These tanks provided crucial fire support and proved highly effective in the dense Vietnamese terrain, earning a formidable reputation among both allies and adversaries.

Perfect For:

This kit is ideal for intermediate to advanced modelers interested in Commonwealth armor, Australian military history, or creating detailed Vietnam War dioramas. The RAAC variant offers a unique subject distinct from British Centurions.

Complementary Products:

Pair this kit with our selection of 1/35 AFV Club Tanks, 1/35 Tanks, and 1/35 AFV Club Military Vehicles. Add realistic crew figures from our 1/35 AFV Club Scale Model Figures collection. Enhance your build with premium Bob Smith Industries Extra CA for strong, professional assembly.
