Hot on the heels of my Matilda Mk1 is this Mk2. Built (quite some time ago!) from the Fujimi kit, I painted this to look like a well-travelled BEF tank. This was the first (and so far only) time I'd built the Fujimi Matilda and it's quite a crisp little model. A little more involved than the Airfix kit of the same tank, though the latter still holds up well. For a look at some Airfix Matildas (built for service in North Africa) see my earlier post here. The commander figure is a Raventhorpe metal casting.

Cool work, love the figure looking over the battlefield!
Its the handle bar 'tache that confirms that this beast is a true god of war.
Roll on Matilda II!!!

The commander was originally destined to command either a Morris or Rolls-Royce armoured car, so I guess the Matilda represents a promotion...

Oh he's a beast all right - but what do you think of his tank?
Lovely work, nice camouflage :)
She's a much tougher proposition for those 1940 panzers :)
