In 1946 the Greek Government was supplied with 52 British Centaur ("Kentavros" in Greek) tanks as part of the commitment of the British Government to aid Greece that was in the midst of a civil war. The fighting was in the Macedonia and Epirus portions of the country and lasted 3 years. The Greek Centaurs were quite varied in that some had a 57 mm 6pdr quick firing Mk.5 gun, some had type "A" or "B" hulls and some were modified to carry a Browning M2 anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on the turret. Some also were the A27L model with the older Liberty engine. The Centaurs were gradually replaced by M-47s and were finally removed from service in 1962.

Hobby Master's 1:72 scale Cruiser tank is constructed with a blend of diecast metal and plastic, with plastic used to achieve maximum detail and a discreet internal weight added for a heavy feel. The 360 degree rotating plastic turret features simulated armor plates with large bosses and a pivoting metal cannon. The lower portion of the hull is constructed in diecast metal with the top in plastic, which allows for fine details such as panel hinges, equipment and tools and delicate shield guards over the front headlights. Variants in the series include the early Centaur models and later Cromwells with a variety of main cannon.
