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)

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"

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
