An injection-molded plastic kit of the Centurion main battle tank in the Mk.5/2 version, that is with the 105 mm gun, in the form used in the 1950s and later in the armies of the NATO alliance. The model comes in 1:35 scale from AFV Club, a manufacturer that has long specialized in armored vehicles and is known among modelers for well-detailed suspension and running gear.
The Centurion appeared at the end of the Second World War and became the first British machine to combine heavy armament, solid armor protection and usable mobility in a single design. It served for decades and in many countries. The original armament was gradually replaced by the 105 mm gun, which became the standard for a whole generation of Western tanks; the rearmed machines carried the designation Mk.5/2. Among the most striking features of the type are the long hull, the fairly tall turret and the running gear with Horstmann suspension, in which the wheels are paired and hidden behind the side armor skirts.
On vehicles of this type it pays to assemble and paint the running gear before you close the hull and fit the side skirts; after that the wheels and the tracks are hard to reach. Spray the lower hull and the inner faces of the fenders with the base color in advance. Dry-fit the turret and the superstructure to check the alignment before gluing. Use a thin cement applied by capillary action on the plastic, and let thin parts dry thoroughly. Spray the base shade with an airbrush over a primer, then add a dark wash in the recesses, bring out the edges with a dry brush and finally dust the running gear and the lower areas with pigments. Always keep the tracks a shade darker and dirtier than the hull.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
