I like this style of news item. Short and to the point. One paragraph about what the thing was. Sprue photo's included (not too many), decals, there are etched parts too.
Oh, and the catalogue number is given too.

Looking forward to this final version from HB. I will be trying to make the asbestos panels for the desert version.

I like the models in my stash but I like this more :-) So great to be getting these early Brit tanks!

Couldn't agree more Nick! I think the Matilda MKI is one of the last of the early British tanks not Kitted yet. Although the Covenanter tank could make the list, and would please a lot of people if I'm not mistaken.

I'd drool over both a Matilda MkI AND a Covenanter. Despite it's awful reliability the Covenanter makes me think of a greyhound, or racing car.

Really love these weird early armour kits. the interwar years were so frenzied in developing tactics and -admittedly- weird armour applied in this search for battlefield supremacy. Beats paper panzers any day of the week and twice on Sundays!
