III\/IV","description":"This is a 1\/35 scale plastic assembly kit of the \u003cstrong\u003eMatilda Mk.III\/IV\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Matilda was developed as a heavily armoured infantry tank and was the British Army's main tank in North Africa during WWII. The Matilda 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. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(1, 125, 197);\"\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel dimensions: 174mm length, 72mm width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired to complete: cement, paint, and finishing supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Matilda's form has been richly reproduced based on a detailed study of the actual tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe turret, gun mantlet, and front hull feature a realistic cast metal texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mechanically complicated suspension also has a detailed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelt and assembly type tracks included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 types of North African markings included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 full body commander, 2 torso (loader and driver) figures included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53799041565013,"sku":"35300","price":34.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/35300_001_8964a71a-681d-45ef-bd09-39d151ad1b1e.jpg?v=1777893408","url":"https:\/\/the-gift-factory.co.uk\/products\/1-35-british-infantry-tank-matilda-mk-iii-iv","provider":"The Gift factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
