Matilda Mk.III/IV Tank

wish I had seen this model with the figures.i have the figureless model. They add interest

Another model that represents the British in World War Two and does justice to the models of the era. Along side the Grant was the Matilda and crews fought with the same amount of courage as the ones in the larger tanks. Once again I built the model without any problems and painted the model to show another camouflage used by the British in North Africa. As with the Grant and other tank models, there is an extensive history of the development and failures of the tank itself.

This kit demonstrates why I really love Tamiya's 1:35 scale military vehicle models. Perfect in nearly every way, the detail is amazing, the parts come of the sprues cleanly, the instructions are clear, and the parts fit nicely together as they should. The build is enjoyable and once painted and set in a diorama (where the scale isn't obvious), one would be hard pressed to tell this model from the real thing. A truely remarkable representation of this iconic British tank from the Desert campaign against Rommel's Africa Corps.
