(almost) finished Matilda

Still have the turret crew to add and some minor detailing such as the periscope lenses. I'm not sure if I should leave the rear view mirror on there or take it off. I suspect they wouldn't have had much use for it in the desert and there as always the danger of the sun reflecting off it and giving away your position.....???

I replaced the antenna base, added the front horn dust flaps and some detail to the cupola hatches and smoke mortars. I scratchbuilt the water can rack. I also made stowage straps from lead foil and wire and replaced the kit tracks with a set of Bronco ones. The camouflage was brush painted on over a sprayed on coat of lightened sand colour. All paints were modelmaster acrylic. Kit decals were used. Weathering was pastels and mig pigments
