I have finished the build portion of the Mk II and I am ready to star painting it. I still need to make the stowage but the biggest part is done. I hope you like it.

Finally completed the Matador Models AEC Y Type 3 ton Lorry. Switched over to Loctite Control superglue halfway through and what a difference it made - lots of blobs on this one from the glue I originally used, and excess glue in the cargo bed prompted me to make the load in the back (although i'm glad I di...

Haigh later commanded a tank in D battalion at Ypres (possibly D1) where he was wounded and he won the Military cross but in which tank I don't know.

Hi all, I hope this has not been dicussed before. If it was: sorry, I didn't find it. I allways wondered why some Mark V had the louvres at the side and others don't. Then the idea crossed my mind that it depends on the point of view at the tank. Does anyone know why the louvres were only at one side? Regards Ch...

Believe it or not I am getting ready to paint my Mk II supply tank and I was wanting to know if Model Master # 4846? Dark Earth ANA 617 would be a good match?
