About the FV4201 Chieftain:

A development of the widely successful Centurion main battle tank, the Leyland FV4201 Chieftain was first introduced in 1966 and saw use by the British Armed Forces throughout the Cold War. Among the notable improvements over its predecessor, the Chieftain had improved armor, a beefed up transmission and engine, and a new L11A5 120mm rifled gun made by Royal Ordnance.

“The opportunity presented itself for my first Brickmania design to be a main battle tank with a highly distinct camouflage pattern. A great challenge!” - Designer Andrew Somers
