Tamiya 35232 1/35 British Centaur Mk. IV With 95mm Howitzer

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Originally a Cromwell, the main cruiser tank of the British Forces during WWII, a lack of Meteor engines led to the vehicle renamed the Centaur and fitted with a Liberty Engine. The Mk.IV variant of the Centaur was fitted with the 95mm tank howitzer and was the only version of the Centaur to enter real combat situations. During the Normandy Invasion of June 1944, the Centaurs were unleashed by the Royal Marines where they target German pill-boxes from landing vessels. The Centaurs then proceeded to support infantry following the landing, aiding to secure the beachhead. When fully assembled, this 1/35 scale model measures 180.50mm long.
