Centurion Mk.5LR / Mk 5/1 Main Battle Tank

The Centurion was commissioned in 1943 to provide a new 40 ton heavy cruiser tank capable of withstanding a direct hit from the German 88mm. Originally armed with the 17 Pounder, later variants were upgunned to the 105mm L7 rifled gun. This Mk.5 was armed with a 20 Pounder. The Mk 5LR (Long Range) and the Mk 5/1 include an additional monowheel fuel trailer for the Mk 5LR or a rear mounted 100 gallon fuel tank for the Mk 5/1. Both options are included in the kit.
