Any tips out there on presenting Tamiya's Matilda III/IV as a Russian Matilda II? I have reviewed these excellent pages: http://www.o5m6.de/matilda.html and http://www.o5m6.de/Matildas_At_Kharkov.html
I have also ordered the Friul heavy type tracks (ATL-72) and the Echelon decals. I would like to avoid any glaring errors, and am unsure of the main differences between the II and III.

You can't go wrong with the TMD resin conversion set. This supplies the parts you'll need to produce a Lend Lease version. It gives you the different front hull nose, mud chute interiors, side panels and rear upper hull section. From memory, I think I used an ET Models PE set along with Bronco tracks. Here's some pics of mine which I'll get around to painting one day

Gary is right - you cant go wrong with the TMD Matilda stuff. They carry just about everything you could need. The Russians got a lot of the CS versions with the 3 inch gun as well.
