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.

This post will explain briefly the story of the Matilda II, as it was commonly known the Infantry Tank Mk. II, a British tank of the Second World War. Mainly known for its heavy armour, it fought in France, North Africa, Pacific and in other minor theatres; the Soviets employed them in the Eastern Front, and so did the Germans as war prize.

I left the hatches of this M3 Grant open in order to show the interiors. Here’s the photo gallery of my work.

Versione italiana

This is my 15^th model, a U.S.-built medium tank M3 Grant used by the British Commnwealth forces. It took a year, from January 2015 to January 2016... but it has been worth it!

M3 Grant – Interiors

This model of an M3 Grant tank included the interiors. I had a lot of fun assembling, painting and weathering everything!

Versione italiana

With this model of M3 Grant I attempted for the first time to the construction of the interiors of a tank. It is an ugly and graceless vehicle, but nonetheless (or maybe for this reason!) I've always wanted to build one.
