Description
The FV4201 Chieftain was the primary main battle tank of the United Kingdom from the 1960s into 1990s. Introduced in 1967, it was among the most heavily armed MBTs at the time, mounting a 120 mm Royal Ordnance L11 gun, equivalent to the much larger specialist heavy tanks in service. It was also among the most heavily armoured, with up to 195 mm that was highly sloped to offer 388 mm thickness along the line of sight.
Chieftain Mk.11 was Chieftain Mk.8 after completing all phases of “Totem Pole” programme. Later upgraded with Stillbrew add-on armour.
Set consists of 15 fine 3D-printed 1:600th/3mm scale miniatures. Models are sold with print supports and need side-cutters and hobby knife to remove them.
