All completed Tamiya Matilda tanks.
Note (on the far left) how out of scale the early Tamiya kit is to the more recently tooled kits.

James CThanks Neuling and Ben 🙂
@ Ben - It's a superb kit to build mate. I highly recommend it.

James CI had used the AK Interactive "Caunter Scheme" acrylic paint set "silver grey" for the paint scheme on the older tooled Tamiya kit... and I just didn't like it.
The "Silver Grey" looked far too close to the "Portland stone".
On this build I figured Tamiya's call outs were better... but the XF-23 call out looked too blue. In the end, I used an Italeri Acrylic of RLM76 (AP4786) which in hind sight is still, too blue... but slightly better? I'll let you guys be the judge.

James CThanks Olivier... And yes, you are right. Reflecting... I don't particularly like either builds now... of the silver grey. Something that I will definitely work on though.

OlivierI am right now trying this scheme on a Marmon Herrington MkIII. Quite a challenge...

Album info
It was a pleasure to build this newly tooled kit, and the replacement Bronco tracks that I had originally intended to use on the older tooled Tamiya kit fit perfectly.
I highly recommend this kit to build and has 3x marking options.
Completed April 2020.
