Matilda Mk II Close Support (2 kits per box)

A superb quick build kit of the British Matilda Mk II CS which includes two vehicles in the box. Despite its small size, the heavy cast hull and side skirts served to make the tank look far bigger. In France in 1940 the Germans were forced to press their 88m flak guns into an anti tank role to counter the Matildas. The CS or Close Support Matilda mounted a QF 3 inch (76mm) howitzer. These were typically supplied to HQ units and could fire both smoke and high explosive shells.
