Airfix Matilda CS


stinger-d

Recommended Posts

I bought this kit a few months ago to cannibalize the decal and it was laying in the very bottom of my stash since then. Recently, after a couple of months pause in modelling, caused by our son birth and I decided to spend some time on building something. I don't know why I chose this kit.

Inspiration came from an articel I read a few months ago on converting Tamiya's 1/35 Matilda into a Soviet MkIV CS. So decided to use the article as a manual.

Here is my progress as of several days ago:

That's some seriously nice scratch-work. :thumbsup:

Your choice of kit was pretty good IMHO, the Airfix Matilda is possibly the best small scale kit of the type that's available at the moment, it's at least as good as the Fujimi 1/76 kit and significantly more accurate than the ESCI/Italeri 1/72 kit.....The tracks do rather let the side down though. :confused:
