In celebration of the 40th Year Anniversary of Military Miniatures, Tamiya is proud to rerelease a radio controlled version of the 1/25 British Chieftain MBT which was first released in 1967. The Chieftain tank first went into production in 1963 and had an intimidating 55 caliber 120mm rifle tank gun which was built for the purpose of knocking out Soviet tanks from a range of 4000m. The Chieftain's defensive abilities were also impressive with 150mm thick front armor plating. It was powered by a Leyland 19000cc engine which pumped out 750hp for an on-road top speed of 48km/h. From the first Chieftain Mk.1 to the last Mk.12, approximately 900 units were manufactured. About the Model - This is an R/C kit version on the prototype Chieftain tank.
