Little Info

  • Hello everyone it's been a while sorry for the massive delay for my builds Ive been doing a lot of schoolworks for the past days and now I'm finally back with more free time. Anyways today I have built the Centurion Mk.1 from GuP because me and my best friend made an agreement on me building a tank within this month and if I failed to do it I get the bonk. This is also my first time making something that pops in and out of the hatch plus the semi-realistic camera views so sorry if it's bad, further improvements will be done for future builds. That's all and enjoy.

History Background

  • Development of the Centurion started in 1943. The vehicle was designed as a "universal tank" to replace existing infantry and cruiser tanks. The Centurion was the first British vehicle that featured sloped armor plates. The tank entered service in 1947. A total of 100 vehicles of this series were manufactured from 1945 through 1946. Although notably bulky and with spectacularly poor hull armor, it is quick on its feet and its 17-pounder gun features equally spectacular penetration.
