Guess what is coming out from Tamiya ?

Well I have heard that an all new tooling Matilda tank in 1/35th scale is coming out from Tamiya .

Very Cool

A great tank , lots of opportunity for western desert , pre dunkirk , russian & of cause Australian jungle variants. I will be getting more than one !

Very exciting , we have never had it so good !

Jenny

oh that is cool news! jenny will love this and get her a bunch!

she loves the matilda song! ... or was it that one she preferred?

The only true Matilda ist this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlYynHmE8b0

The text is so emotional.

OOooohhhhh I need one or maybe three or four.
Have you actually seen anything, or is it just quiet whispers in dark corners so far?

I quite agree!

...and I have to congratulate you on such a fine set you issued lately for the LRDG!! Great figures! I'll probably get some of your stuff from Euro Militaire. I should find them I suppose?

oh brilliant! jenny had asked me to watch the updates of this blog and open a new thread when it's updated ... no update yesterday and today until this afternoon when i was in the garden!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

but this kit is really sweet looking! the figures are way cool and the track lengths as an alternative to vinyl tracks are a superb goodie!

As the text on site is useless here are the pictures to drool over !












Okay , what can we see ? Both Vinyl & Link & Length tracks & count em three figures

Jenny

Has anyone noticed the boxes in the cabinet , Army Bread made by Tamiya ???? I can not quite make out what are in the other boxes

Wierd huh ?

Jenny

i had noticed and wondered but better army bread by tamiya than german "panzerkekse" (tank cookies = as hard as tank armor)

Hmmmm Maybe we should volunteer Markus since he is TMMI editor to taste it & write us a review on how good it is !

Jenny

That Matilda and crew looks awesome. Too bad my dance card is full. I won't be waltzing with this Matilda anytime soon, but it sounds like you guys will be keeping her quite busy, anyway.

An all new Matilda. Very nice.
