Waltzing Matilda

 My collection of armour for 1940 continues to expand, and now the BEF is getting some support in the form of an A.12 Matilda II infantry tank.  The Matilda II turned out to be one of the most effective tanks in the Battle of France.  While it was not enough to turn the tide of that campaign, it really found its opportunity to shine in the North Africa campaign, as well as in the Australian army in the Pacific.

This is a plastic model is from Warlord Games.  I was a bit frustrated that the part numbers were not stamped on the sprues, as one usually finds.  I also replaced the tank commander figure with a metal TC figure from Perry Miniatures.  

Decals are the ones that come with the kit, including the white rectangle BEF recognition marks.  These were apparently known sarcastically as 'aiming points' for enemy AT guns!
