Israeli Army CENTURION SHOT Main Battle Tank IDF035 King & Country Models

Item Name: Israeli Army CENTURION SHOT Main Battle Tank. This is the STAR of these Yom Kippur War releases... The CENTURION SHOT was the Israeli adopted and adapted designation of the British-designed 105mm L7 gun-armed Centurion tank. These entered IDF service in the late 1960s and fought throughout the 1970s with some even serving until the early 1980s. SHOT in Hebrew means whip and thats exactly what this Israeli-modified and improved main battle tank did to its Arab opponents during the SIX-DAY War of 1967 and Yom Kippur War of 1973. On the Golan Heights in October 1973 a single brigade of 180 Centurion / SHOT tanks held off 2 reinforced Syrian armoured divisions with almost 1300 Soviet tanks (mostly T54s and T55s) destroying more than half for the loss of 70 of their own.

This model has mounds of crew stowage on top of and around the turret in typical Israeli military fashion. Also included is the tank commander figure behind a turret-mounted, shoulder-fired FN General Purpose Machine Gun.

Peering out of the other open turret hatch is a second member of the crew. This very special tank model comes in its own very special box. Measures approximately 10" long x 4.5" wide x 4 tall with turret in place.
