It looks like the Matador from AFV Club is getting closer to release as we have some images of the test build.

AFV Club has released some images of the test build of the previously announced early version of the AEC Matador. This is looking to be another must have kit for British AFV fans.

AF35236 – AEC Matador, British Expeditionary Force 1940

Still no release date, but looking at the test build, does not look like it will be too long.

Looks nice, though the top seems a bit too perfect.

Nice and I've wanted a Matador for a long time. I wish AFV Club and Trumpeter would ditch the rubber/vinyl tyres though. Why they can't do them in styrene like other manufacturers i don't know.

Agree with beastmaster time these high end model comp did away with vinyl tires spoils look of wheels on finished kits.

Yes and styrene tyres are so much easier to weather too. Plus there's been cases of vinyl melting and reacting with paints etc.
