Modeling Subjects Armor

Hello ,
Is any company planning to release a Centurion Tank ? In any scale , ( Imagine 1/16 th ). Trumpeter seems to be leading the way , in the area of " Unusual " subjects , like their Swedish " S " Tank . Any rumors even ?

A new company called Bronco is supposedly going to release a series of 1/35 Centurions, as well as a series of 1/16 Panthers. Haven’t heard much more than that, though.

Frank. “Modelcraft” has a Centurion Mk.3 P/N: 35-9009 1/35 scale! I’ve had mine for quite some time, and it’s still in the box, so I can’t really comment on how well it goes together, but it doesn’t look like to bad of a kit. It has rubber band tracks, and not alot of attaching parts, but it looks to be pretty crisply molded. I don’t know if the kit is still avail or not. Semper Fi, mike

Tamiya have one too (1:35 scale)

I’d love for one of the companies to put out a decent Centurion. I’d love to try to do a Canadian version.

Me too! I have wanted to build one after seeing one in Calgary.

Accurate Armor makes several in 35th. Very nice and detailed but all resin and retail for $170.
Legend just came out with several detail kits for the Tamiya/Academy kits. Looks like you can do a nice job with them and would still be cheaper than the AA kit.
I just hope someone will do a new one in 72nd. Come on RoG.

I liked the way my Centurion came out for the Commonwealth build.With a little time and some scrach building you can make the Tamiya kit look like the real thing.

I’ve read posts on other forums about an Asian company selling a line of various Centurion kits but nothing definite yet. The two companies that I have heard the most have been Trumpeter and AFV Club. I certainly hope the rumors come true and somebody comes out with these kits. I’ve built the older Tamiya kits and can’t afford the Accurate Armour kits.

I don’t know about Trump and AFV Club, but as I mentioned above, Bronco, a new Chinese company, has announced a series of Centurions.

Thanks Hulk! Ready to do a Sho’t ! ! !

The way things are set up now: Tamiya released the original Centurion tank, Academy took this kit as an ‘influence’ and released their own, which Modelcraft bought and reboxed under their own label, so basically it’s all the same. The kit is not particularily well designed. THe fit is not the greatest, but it does lend itself well to some basic improvements.
Here’s the one I built recently:
