High-Detail 3D Printable FV3805 Centurion Self-Propelled Gun (SPG) Model This 1/64 scale FV3805 Centurion SPG is a highly detailed 3D printable file, perfect for collectors, military history enthusiasts, and tabletop wargamers. Scalable to other sizes, this downloadable STL file accurately represents one of the rare experimental self-propelled guns (SPGs) based on the Centurion tank chassis. About the FV3805 Centurion SPG The FV3805 Centurion SPG was developed in the late 1950s as part of an initiative to create a self-propelled artillery system using the hull of the Centurion tank. The design featured a BL 5.5-inch QF field gun (140mm howitzer) mounted in a built-up casemate. This approach aimed to improve efficiency by sharing automotive components with the Centurion main battle tank, the primary tank in service with the British Army at the time. The project progressed to the prototype stage, with two units (P1 and P2) undergoing testing, though it was never mass-produced.
