This R/C tank recreates the Centurion in 1/16 scale as a radio control model. The Centurion Mk. III was developed as a heavy cruiser tank to counter the powerful German Army tanks during WWII. The Mk. III was perhaps the most polished Centurion variant, equipped with the L/66.7 20-pounder-long barrel gun. It was also deployed in the Korean War in 1950 and showed overwhelming strength, which saved the Allied forces from crisis many times. Production reached about 2,800 between 1948 and 1956. After the Korean War, the Mk. III were deployed in European countries but also in other areas such as India, Israel, and Egypt with their formidable force.
