1:48 British Infantry Tank Matilda Mk.III/IV
This is a 1/48 scale plastic assembly model of the British Matilda previously available in 1/35 scale. Historical background: The Matilda was developed as a heavily armored infantry tank and was one of the British Army"s main tanks in North Africa during WWII. The Matilda swept aside opposing Italian tanks and was respectfully called the "Queen of the Desert" by German forces. During Operation Battle axe to lift the siege of Tobruk in June 1941, German forces famously used their 88mm AA guns in the anti-tank role as they were the only effective counter against Matildas.
| Most of the Matildas sent to North Africa at the start of WWII featured camouflage patterns designed to disguise their silhouettes. Some tanks used for training purposes in the UK featured a brown cloud camouflage pattern. Kit comes with 3 marking options. |
