Matilda - a couple of recent projects

Armor/AFV WWII Allied
1

A couple of projects based on Tamiya’s 1/48 scale Matilda. One is a fairly straightforward build to produce a vehicle operating ‘somewhere in England’.

The second project is a Scorpion II, a flail tank used in Tunisia in early 1943 (the original Scorpion Is were used at Alamein in 1942). The flail frame and all the details are scratchbuilt.
