    Tamiya Matilda Infantry tank. 1/35

    Just one of those kits that builds its selv almost. It goes together really very well.
    Paint was from DOA paints which are nowhere to be found any more. Shame they where good paints to use.
    At some time in the future it might get put on a base and weathered a little more than it is now.
    Anyway:

            Nice Ian. I enjoy building those 1/48 Tamiya kits like you said they build them selves. Great finish.

              Hi Ian
              That's a very nice result. It deserves a nice base.

                Most excellent finish Ian!!! Like the others, I think it deserves a little base for it too. The camo colors are great and maybe you'll get the chance to muck it up a bit more later. Top job!!!

                Prost

                              Thanks Rob.
                              Not being so into German armour, any suggestions for a good opponent for Matilda. Northern Africa in '43 I think.
