Tamiya 1/16 R/C British Battle Tank Centurion Mk III Full Option Kit

The Tamiya 1/16 R/C British Battle Tank Centurion Mk III Full Option Kit is a 1/16 scale tank kit. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Tamiya kits are designed to be built with hand tools and a clear manual, which is what makes them a common first build as well as a shelf favourite.
