Queen of the Desert - 1:48 Tamiya Matilda


Recommended Posts

My latest build, the 1:48 Tamiya Matilda finished out of the box as the well known "Phantom", which according to the instruction sheet is from 42 RTR, 1st Army Tank Brigade, North Africa 1941. The Caunter scheme was painted in Tamiya acrylics using the mixes available here: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47208/thread/1252022924/The+complete+Mike+Starmer+Acrylic+Paint+Mix+Database

 

Build thread can be found here.

 

These Tamiya 1:48 armoured vehicles are addictive! My next one - the little Dingo Mk II. I may have a go at painting the crew for this one.

 

Thanks for looking!

That really turned out beautifully Simon! Very impressive weathering. I have say I do enjoy building Tamiya's 1/48 kits too - I will watch out for your Dingo build.:thumbsup:

Kind regards,

Stix
