Introduced into service in the mid-1960s, the Mk.V tank succeeded the successful line of Centurion vehicles. It featured exceptionally strong armour and the pioneering 120mm L11 rifled gun, which for years was considered one of the most effective tank guns in the world. Chieftains were used by the British Army until the 1990s, taking part in numerous NATO exercises and representing Western armoured strength in Europe during the Cold War period. The Chieftain Mk.V was also included in the arsenals of Iran, Kuwait, and Oman.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Tamiya\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry and period of use: United Kingdom, Cold War (1967-1990)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe model features authentic details of the hull, turret, armament, and running gear specific to the Mk.V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes elements representing the distinctive armour profile and turret details of the tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDoes not include extras such as metal barrels or photo-etched parts – provides an excellent base for further enhancement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAssembly instructions are pictorial, clear, and user-friendly, ensuring comfortable assembly even for less experienced modellers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecommended painting: colours used by British armoured units.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eCategory and target group\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The product belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003eplastic model kits\u003c\/strong\u003e category in 1\/35 scale.
