Product: 1:35 Brit. Pz Matilda Mk.III/IV Red Army
This kit updates the popular British Matilda (Item 35300) with parts to
recreate a Soviet-spec Matilda. The tank itself was a durable, heavy
design with 2-pounder gun that was well-suited to the slower infantry
tank role in British armor doctrine. Eventually, the Matilda was
replaced by the Valentine. Like the Valentine, it was supplied to Soviet
forces under a lend-lease scheme. Around 1,000 were provided; they were
generally given new tracks and simplified suspension with bogie skids, re-designed side skirts, and other modifications.
