Description
A detailed guide to modelling the Matilda tank across a variety of types, colour schemes and scales, featuring excellent reference photos.
The Matilda tank saw action in almost all theatres of World War II, from Europe to the Pacific. It is perhaps most famous for its role in the desert campaigns of 1940-41, thus acquiring its nickname 'Queen of the Desert'.
Using clearly explained techniques and methods, and featuring the work of several top modellers, this step-by-step guide to building, finishing and displaying the Matilda in European, Western Desert and Australian service presents a creative and enagaging approach to modelling the 'Tilly'.
