Trumpeter 1/35 Italian B1 Centauro Late Version

The Italian Centauro is a 4-axles, all wheel driven armored wheeled vehicle. With good mechanical configuration; massive firepower and fine electronic hardware combine together, it is surly one of the best-wheeled armor car on earth. The first order of 400 vehicles was placed by the Italian army in 1989 and in 1993, just one year after its first issue to the troops, 20 of them were already deployed in the UN peace keeping task in Somalia. Since the performance of the Centauro is so outstanding, the Spanish Army also placed an order of 22 vehicles in 1999 and later added an order of another 62 in 2002. The third user to operate the Centauro is the Egyptian Army.:

Description The Centauro B1 tank destroyer is designed for reconnaissance and territorial defense tasks. The main mission is the protection of lighter vehicles and units of the Cavalry. It is not a reconnaissance vehicle, but a tank destroyer/wheeled tank. The Centauro carries a fully armed and equipped crew of 2 to 4 men, which makes it extremely flexible to use, especially in peacekeeping operations. The Centauro was deployed in Somalia and former Yugoslavia and has proved its durability in those conflicts. Kit consists of 392 parts on 7 sprues plus 8 rubber tires, copper towing cable, 32 photo etched parts, and markings for Italian Army Service. Includes mounted 42/59 machine gun, periscopes and other arms. View All Close
