She swept aside Italian opponents and was respectfully called the “Queen of the Desert” by German forces. During Operation Battleaxe to lift the siege of Tobruk in June 1941, German forces famously used their 88mm AA guns in the anti-tank role as they were the only effective counter against Matildas which could be found. The Matilda has written her name into the history books as a highly effective tank which continually proved her worth during many fierce battles throughout North Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cui\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a 1\/48 scale plastic assembly kit of the Matilda Mk.III\/IV. \u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 127mm. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe Matilda's form, including the distinctive turret, front hull and side armored skirt, has been accurately reproduced. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe turret and front hull feature a realistic cast metal texture. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWeights are included to be inserted in the hull and provide a realistic heavy feel. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly tracks with one-piece straight sections feature realistic sag effect. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCommander torso figure included. \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eComes with 3 marking options to depict a tank from the North African front.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ui\u003e ","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43097901432968,"sku":"T32572","price":34.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/3150\/4008\/files\/tamiya_1_48_matilda_mk.iii_iv_t32572.jpg?v=1732179104","url":"https:\/\/hobbiesonline.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-48-matilda-mk-iii-iv","provider":"Hobbies Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
