you're right Jon, but it's only to avoid confusion.
In blueprints will appear the type of format and nobody can complain later

Look at this example:

Sorry for delay but I was very busy, or maybe I´m very lazy.

Here you are the drawings of Matilda Flail Tank. They are not perfect but I hope you can find useful.

There are three different drawings:

A4 (spanish)
A4 (English)

Sorry I´ve forgotten to place the files in a public folder.

I solved the problem... or I think so.

You could download the drawings now.

"Un saludo"

Hi Fernando,

Only just came across your build. Absolutely excellent work. The build is looking splendid and your eye for detail and patience will make this one, one to be truly proud of.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful build.

Cheers

Al

I finally began to paint the Matilda.

First I want to clarify why I used this particular camo scheme. Practically all sources I

have consulted say the same that Scorpios had not camouflage schemes and no markings.
But in the pictures I have you can see clearly that the turret has a camo band, also (not

so clearly) in the engine casing. And in this other picture it´s clear that the Flail

support has camouflage.




(From http://ww2today.com)

Then, to make less boring the painting of the tank, I have decided to paint the turret and

the flail supports with camouflage.

If you don´t like, you can hate me so...I hope you like, at least, the painting work.

Beautiful work.

It's a shame paint will cover what most will not see as a very tedious effort.

Nice rust texture on the flail shaft. Keep at it Fernando.

Fernando,

This may help you a little bit.

Below are four census numbers that could be used on your Scorpion.

T-7419
T-10098
T-10185
T-10471

All four numbers are taken from a report written in January 1943. They were desribed as Matilda Scorpions and were located a No. 7 Base Workshops in the Middle East.

Hope that helps?

Regards,
John
