Great build of what for me is the most tanky looking tank. Which manufacturer?

Very nice! Always liked the look of the Centurion, and you did a great job on it. I think the clean look is very sharp, and also appropriate for what was mostly a Cold Warrior!

I had a motorised one of these Tamiya Centurions in 1970's. If I let it loose in the garden it would do a very wide circuit of the lawn, rather than go in a straight line, more by luck than design.

I think this one had space for batteries, as evidenced by the frame inside the lower hull. No motorised bits though....

Quite a few of the original Tamiyas were originally motorised, did actually cause a few accuracy issues as they had to make the hull deep enough to fit the components.
