from a tank that never made it into production, to a tank that saw service right through the entire Second world war. When I purchased this kit, I intended to get the inside the armour interior for it, now they've taken a break from trading, I'll have to scratch build it.

Before the Matilda I've still got the concrete base to do for the MTB 70. I use upol car body filler, easy stuff to spread and sand back.


the texture it gives is great for a concrete runway, just need to add weathering and some moss, growing in the join.

weathered with faded track marks and fuel and oil spillages, it's looking a bit like my own driveway.

sorry having an image store glitch, here we go the base weathering

finally, well almost, the MBT 70 on the concrete runway ready for the days development testing. I'll put up a picture of it in it's glass case next week when my glass cutter Neil returns from his holiday. You can see the hull of Matilda in the background. That's a 35th scale model too, not 48th.

Love your work Dave - a splendid model you've made.
Though I don't want to hijack your threat, I'd like to know if there is a alternative to the Dragon tacks?

Ken I'm sure there are aftermarket Fruel tracks for this kit.

The model rapidly approaching being glassed up, alongside a loco I'm doing for a pal.

and finally in glass.

very well done job, Dave.
