About the Conqueror

Developed in response to the Soviet IS-3 and intended to partner the British Army’s Centurion, the FV214 Conqueror delivered long-range anti-tank firepower through its 120mm gun. Produced between 1955 and 1959 in limited numbers (20 Mk.I and 165 Mk.II), Conquerors were allocated to tank regiments stationed in Germany. Its considerable 66-tonne weight constrained speed and bridge crossing, but the type was notable for its advanced commander’s rotating cupola and formidable engagement range. The Conqueror served from 1955 to 1966, overlapping with vehicles such as the Saladin Mk.II 6x6 armoured car.

With its faithful shapes, refined surface detail and practical engineering choices like DS tracks, Dragon’s HC-D3555 kit brings the FV214’s distinctive profile and features to the bench, making it a compelling Cold War heavy tank project for British armour enthusiasts.
