Matilda Mk I

A superb kit of the Matilda Mk I used by the British Expeditionary Forces during 1939-1940. Despite being slow and only armed with a Vickers 0.303 machine gun, the Matilda Mk I was heavily armoured and was capable of holding out against German Anti Tank guns early in WWII. However, the exposed tracks and running gear left them vulnerable. It was crewed by only two men and the commander had his hands full with commanding, firing the Vickers and operating the radio.
