Matilda Mk. II – Photo gallery

In this photo gallery you can admire the peculiar camouflage I chose to paint for this British Matilda Mk. II tank.

The 16^th model I completed, built from November 2015 to March 2016, represents a British infantry tank Matilda Mk II, used during the Second World War. It caught my attention mainly due to its unique camouflage pattern.
