Tamiya 1/48 British Matilda Mk. III/IV Infantry Tank Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The Matilda was the second infantry tank developed by the British military, designed in the late 1930s for infantry support. On the North African front, it took advantage of its incredibly strong defensive armour and fought bravely as the main battle tank of the British army. It proved impervious to most German tank and anti-tank guns of the period, earning it the awe-inspiring nickname from its enemies, the "Queen of the Desert".

This 1/48 scale Tamiya kit is a realistic model of the Matilda's rugged appearance, including its unique turret and the armoured skirts that cover the suspension. The turret and hull front realistically express the texture of cast steel, and special weights are included to be installed inside the car body to give the finished model a satisfyingly heavy feel. The tracks are a connected, assembly type with integrated parts that naturally reproduce a realistic sag, and a commander half-figure is included to complete the model.
