Matilda Mk II 'Hedgehog'

At the outbreak of WWII only 2 Matilda Mk IIs were in service. However between 1940 and 1943, 2,987 were produced seeing service in both France and North Africa as well as some being sent to aid the Soviet Union which continued in service as late as 1944. The Hedgehog was a late war Australian conversion of the Matilda Mk II with the addition of a 7 spigot naval mortar on the rear deck. The kit includes decals for 2/1 Armoured Regiment, 4th Australian Armoured Brigade, Papua New Guinea, 1945.
