Coolbank Matilda II Teaser Tidbit

Post by ColemanCollector »

While rummaging through Coolbank's facebook page I came across an interesting post by Coolbank showing a bit of Matilda suspension they are working on. Post was about 35 weeks old, but it gives credibility to the rumour mill. Coolbank says it's a complicated suspension to build but they're pushing on. Part of a series of desert armour he's hoping to do! Could there finally be some Italian armour, too?

Amazing after very few British WW2 tanks we have had Churchills, a Crusader and now hopefully a Matilda. What is next? A Valentine? That would be interesting in Red Army colours

Many colour scheme possibilities! Malta, caunter, early European theatre, Australian Pacific with the 3" howitzer and telephone set on the stern, Canadian training scheme--collect them all!

For those who enjoy printing large scale tanks, a very detailed 1/10 Matilda II is pending early next year.

Inkor offers his 1/16 3DP model on Cults. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/matilda-ii
