On the North African front, it took advantage of its incredibly strong defensive armour and fought bravely as the main battle tank of the British army. It proved impervious to most German tank and anti-tank guns of the period, earning it the awe-inspiring nickname from its enemies, the \"Queen of the Desert\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/48 scale Tamiya kit is a realistic model of the Matilda's rugged appearance, including its unique turret and the armoured skirts that cover the suspension. The turret and hull front realistically express the texture of cast steel, and special weights are included to be installed inside the car body to give the finished model a satisfyingly heavy feel. The tracks are a connected, assembly type with integrated parts that naturally reproduce a realistic sag, and a commander half-figure is included to complete the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe turret and front of the vehicle realistically express cast metal texture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes weights to be installed inside the hull for a heavy feel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tracks are a connected assembly type with natural sag\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA half-length portrait of the commander holding a microphone is included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHatches on the engine deck also have a three-dimensional finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint Options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes decals for three versions from the North African Campaign\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe perfect centrepiece for any 1\/48 scale collection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 127mm (5.00\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Matilda Mk.
