Probably can't get any better modelling than this !
Detailing is faultless.

Thank you, John! You are too kind.
Hello, Steve! thank you so much! Indeed. Not good year at all. Let's hope that 2021 will bring us more positive moment! Merry Christmas my friend!
Greeting friends! The work hasn't been stopped. All that time I was working with turret. What can I say? All is wrong. Dimensions,proportions,details.... So I just try to find an average decision between accuracy and my abilities. As I have already written before, turret doesn't have armor plates at all. They didn't exist on a model. Therefore I need to show them. And there were a big question: should I grow the turret sides by Evergreen plastic or I just make a lines by knife. I chose second variant because turret won't look good on the hull and will be oversized. So that's why in some areas it will be less rivets in column or in line.
All in progress. Plastic is awful. It scratches by air. All the time after every movement I need to polish the surface. It makes me mad. Hinges are also wrong and too small. I made my variant. So.....to be continued.
And of course the smoke grenade launcher mount from Voyager is also totally wrong. They made it like rectangle.

More great work Neo. You correct things most of us don’t even see!
I often think your builds are more accurate than the originals

Thank you, Jim! Trying to do my best.
Bronco continue entertain me. Just for comparison. I marked all interesting moments. I need to move MG's basement down.Also I should have more space from the right. And so on. And I am not talking about countersunk screws on mask. Ufff...
The model photo is my friends work - Andrey. He has built it some years ago from OOTB with improvements.

Greetings friends! So what can I say. I suspected that the turret will be the most weak and difficult part. And I was right. First of all I have bought the wrong gun barrel. I ordered as I already know late variant from Orange Hobby. Now I need an early variant. That's why it will take some time to get Aber gun barrel for early Matilda.
You may look at the pictures. Early barrel is one piece, later is composite.

Than you may look at this pictures and compare model with the real tank.

Not yet, but thank you! :smiling4:
Mind-blowing levels of accuracy......
Well done as always. The big question though is will this see paint? I can understand why you wouldn't, as it will cover your truly stunning attention to detail.
ATB.

Thank you, Andrew! In true I don't know. My painting skills are significantly worse than scratching. So for a while all kits will be unpainted. Perhaps I will collaborate with my friends who paint well.
