The Centurion was one of the most famous British tanks, starting development in 1943 and still in limited service to the present day. It was widely exported to friendly armies and evolved through thirteen different marks in British service. Over 4,400 were produced. Its main armament evolved from the QF 17-pdr, through the 20-pdr, to the superlative L7 105 mm gun. 
Many countries employed Centurions for decades and many Centurion versions have seen service with all the armies it served in. Scorpion Miniature Models have created a second volume in a series of modelling resource books, designed to encourage modellers to build every major version of this iconic British tank. 
In this follow-up volume, modellers with a serious interest in the Centurion can find a wealth of information and inspiration in Ian Wrights’ models, illustrating the later marks in great detail. Ian has dedicated a large part of his time over the past decade to modelling British post-war tanks. Ian’s incredible models span the final decade of the Centurion’s evolution. 
Each build documents the necessary changes to represent the original – while listing the pertinent conversion sets available from Scorpion Miniature Models. Ian’s craftsmanship is presented in a readable style with a selection of excellent reference photos. 
From the Mk.6 through to the final Mk.13, Ian presents a selection of conversions based on AFV Club 1/35th scale kits with many scratch-built features, plus the use of SMM and other detail sets. Each build is presented in chronological order, unpainted to show every detail modification. As a bonus, the proof-of-concept Swingfire Centurion and a Stridsvagn 101 are also featured. 
Once again, SMM Publishing makes modelling the iconic Centurion accessible to all modellers of all skill levels.
