Immense Realism
The M4 Sherman was a mainstay of the Allied WWII war effort, and was manufactured in a number of different variants including the 105mm howitzer depicted by this highly realistic R/C model assembly kit. Along with the accurate form of the vehicle, this model features moving suspension, realistic sounds and even lights for a truly all-encompassing scale armor experience.

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 off overwhelming strength which saved the Allied forces from crisis many times. The production reached about 2,800 between 1948 and 1956. After the Korean War, the Mk. III were deployed in European countries, but also other areas such as India, Israel, and Egypt with their formidable force.
