Build review - S-Model 1/72 Matilda Mk II CS Infantry Tank PS720057

This is the latest release from S-Model - a 1/72 British Matilda Mk II CS infantry tank. The box contains kits to build two close-support Matilda tanks with a 6-pdr (76 mm/3 in) howitzer. Also photo etched parts and decal are included. Seven options of markings are for British troops, Royal Australian Armoured Corps, ANZAC troops and Russian troops.

The parts have rich and crisp details. Overall fit is excellent. The only thing needs some note is the building sequence of parts A18, A19, A20 and A21. Please see the pictures for the suggested sequence. 

Highly recommended for scale modellers as well as war game players.
