Hello all.!

Here are some pics of one of my ongoing projects, Tamiya's new Matilda with a scratchbuilt interior and engine compartment (apart from the engines, which were stolen from a couple of Panzer 38(t) kits). I admit that I have not achieved 100% accuracy, but it will at least fill the void under the open hatches.

The right hand half of the engine/transmission compartment will be under closed hatches, so that side of the engine and transmission serve no other purpose than to fill empty space "just in case".

Hoping to have this model completed for C4 Open in Malmö South Sweden last week of October.

My apologies if some of these pics look "washed out", I think my lights were set a little too bright.

Cheers..!
Sven
