I printed them, but then left them off as I thought they would get in the way. Also I added the spare track holders. They were not the greatest prints as there isn't a really good surface to print them from.B_Man wrote: ↑Tue Dec 24, 2024 3:09 am That's a great looking Matilda. Just a heads up in case you're unaware, those armored idler guards were an Australian modification from the Pacific theater. The Japanese couldn't penetrate the hull so targeted the idlers and turret rigs of the tank instead. You won't need them if you are modelling a British tank.

Re: Surprise
I am not a Second World War tank guy, but I very much appreciate the work involved in building this. It has made a lovely model.

Re: Surprise
I may re print the rear top section as I’m not happy with the vents, they warped during curing because I removed the supports between the slats

Re: Surprise
So I have started repainting the blue to the grey on this and I actually think the blue looks better. Both are colours found on meditation warships so in my mind both could have been used
