A Motorworks 1/32 Matilda MKII in box. Appears to have some metal as it feels heavy. I'll get some pics up soon.

I'm not into 1/32 but thought this was different enough to buy.

After looking at this tank, we need one in the bigger scales

It is heavy - the little bugger weighs more than most of the other 1:32 armour that I own. I'd say it weighs as much as a FoV Tiger! Hurray for metal content. With the thick armour that the Matilda IIs had in real life, it's only fair that it would weigh so much.

Congratulations on finding a bargain like that! The first two releases (the El Alamein and then the Tobruk versions) are retired as far as I know. The third variant hasn't been released yet as far as I know, and it looks like it has a paint scheme from earlier in the war than El Alamein (possibly France?).

I am so disappointed! Here I thought I was getting some rare 21C release and the bottom of the base frame says... Forces of Valor.

I thought motorworks was solely 21c stuff.

Oh well, sure is cool. Where is the 1/18 version!!!!!!

not one to be disapointed on.

The first FOV Matilda is a true gem.

the fact it is an unusual choice just makes it better.
