Aussie Matilda from Tamiya kit ??

[Ian]

Hey folks

Getting back in to AFV building after a couple of years break building just aircraft and fancied building the Tamiya Matilda III/IV as an Aussie one with the Echelon decal set... not sure how much difference there was between the two versions whether it's just details or major re-building.

 

Can anybody give me a little advice here ??. Thanks in advance.

If you check Osprey's Modelling serie, there's a conversion build for an Aussie Matilda starting from the tamiya kit in the Modelling the Matilda infantry tank booklet.

Can't remember if the book was released before or after Tamiya #2 Matilda, anyway it's now about ten years old, so there might be new stuff available.

Ian, Brett Green over at Hyperscale has just posted  some images of his build of an Aussie Matilda from this kit

Cheers Calum, GatorBait & Antoine.

Did you read in his review of the 'Soviet' Matilda (just released by Tamiya), that all the 'hints' are there for an Aussie one in the future !! - talk about good timing, eh ??
