CENTAUR TANK

Taking a magnifying glass to the incredible variety of armored vehicles, tanks and transporters which were used during the Second World War, Corgi are bringing to the collector a new level of detail and accuracy unseen before on diecast scale models of this era. The first range will concentrate on the World War in Europe and in order to bring this epic arena to life we have chosen to model some of the groundbreaking and iconic vehicles which were to bring such devastating effect to the six years of war that raged across all parts of the continent.
          The World War II Collection will become a mark of the highest caliber and this first 2003 range sets an exciting level of excellence. The meticulous attention to detail features working aspects to the models where appropriate, highly specific livery details, realistic look weathering and battle scarring, and in some instances unique and innovative features of the vehicles are also included. Each Limited Edition model has a numbered certificate and all models are presented in superb display packaging.

NOTE:    Centaurs were generally armed with 75mmm guns but had close support variants armed with 95mm guns as well. The only Centaurs to see action as gun tanks were 95 mm variants attached to the Royal Marine Armored Support Group. 80 such Centaurs were to have formed the first wave of the D-Day assault, though not all made it ashore.
