Centurion: Armoured Hero of Post-War Tank Battles (TankCraft) Paperback – January 4, 2019

I have several volumes in this series and this is the best to date. Folks who have books in this series understand that they are not a comprehensive reference, but good general works on a particular vehicles, with history, colors, model info, history and photos. This volume strikes a good balance between all and is a good reference, especially for the model enthusiast who is looking for a good build reference.

Author did little to no research on the Chieftain. Many captions on pics are just wrong. Screenshots from games used as reference pics. Stay far away from this authors books, he also has one on the Chieftain that is just as bad.

GOOD READING

Ich schreibe dies aus vollster Überzeugung: Die Tank Craft-Magazin-Reihe gehört für mich, als Modellbauer, zu den besten zeitgeschichtlichen Magazinen..!! Das Fahrzeug/oder der Panzer wird nicht nur anhand von etlichen Originalfotos beeindruckend dargestellt, sondern auch für Modellbauer anhand von meist vier bis fünf fertiggestellten Modellen sehr gut dargestellt. Dazu gibt es eine Auflistung/Aufzählung der z.Z. auf dem Modellbaumarkt zur Verfügung stehenden Bausätze des jeweiligen Typs....Super..!!

This is a superb historic and pictorial reference for the British Centurion tank that is ideal for model makers and interested military historians alike.Highly recommended - lets hope they do a Tankcraft book on the Cheiftain next - I suppose it would be too much to ask for a Tankcraft book for the Conquerer - now that would be a really desirable book on a service partner to the Centurion that has been so sadly lacking in printed coverage!

Good book very good photos alot there for the modeler, basic info but interesting.

There are several pictures which shall be replaced.- Front cover, far right: Picture shows a Chieftain tank and not a Centurion tank-Page 12, middle picture: Picture shows a Centurion tank from online Game "World of tanks"- Page 53: Picture shows a Chieftain tank and not a Centurion tank- Page 54, upper left: Picture shows a Chieftain tank and not a Centurion tank- Page 62, upper left: Picture shows a M60 series tank and not a Centurion tank- Page 62, midddle left: Picture shows 2 sherman tanks and not M60 tanks
