Trumpeter 1/35 B1 Centauro AFV 01564 - High Detail Scale Model

The Trumpeter 1/35 B1 Centauro AFV Early Version (2nd Series) with Upgrade Armour presents the early Centauro configuration with the reinforced armour fittings included. The kit reproduces the vehicle's profile faithfully and provides the parts needed to reflect the upgraded protection in miniature.

Background and Combat Role

Conceived in the 1980s as a wheeled anti-armour platform, the B1 Centauro combined strategic mobility with a powerful gun. The upgraded armour variants increased durability in hostile environments, and this kit models those changes accurately for a scale recreation.

Building Notes and Collector Appeal

Construction requires care with fine components and accurate paintwork to bring out the detailing. Once completed, the model serves well in a collection or as part of a historically themed display with other modern AFV kits.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes, glue needed
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Extensive detailing parts
The turret and main armament include finely moulded components with crisp detail; careful assembly and painting will highlight the casting lines and fittings effectively.
Standard modelling tools such as sprue cutters, a hobby knife, fine files and quality adhesives are sufficient. Tweezers and a small drill can help with delicate fittings.
Yes, the kit takes washes, pigments and chipping effects well; apply weathering to wheel hubs, lower hull and around armour edges to convey realistic service wear.
