You want to take any from hobby headquarters today, we're gonna be building the 1 35th scale to Mia Matilda, three slash floor.

Past simple

This kid came out about 67 years ago, so it's a relatively new kid, all state of the art molding.

Really, really nice Actually built this kid up when it first came out and really enjoyed building this unusual paint scheme with blue and tan and green.

So I thought I would do a video showing you guys how this would go together, So let's get started on it.

Matilde, too, was an excellent cutting edge tank for its time at the beginning of World War Two at a very thick armor.

In fact, the frontal armor, as well as the turkey roll cast and were very, very thick and were designed to defeat any 37 millimeter anti tank round.

The German army in North Africa was forced to use its 88 millimeter flak guns horizontally to knock out Matilda's that range.

Hitler, having read reports of this, began to get involved in tank production and as a direct result, the Tiger one was conceived Matilde, too, was an infantry drink and therefore relatively slow.

It carried a two pounder high velocity gun, which is about 40 millimeters and was effective and stopping anything the Germans had up to 1941.

The British produced about 3000 total units.

Because of the intricacy of the lower hall to me has provided multiple parts to make up this piece.

But rest assured, the parts fit together easily and very, very tightly.

As I start Thio cut the road wheels out off this kid.

Uh, it is a early war British tank, So there are going to be quite a few road wheels to have to assemble.

In fact, there's ah, 20 total of these plus thes and the return of the drives.

Brockett has a poly cap in it, as well as a return.

Idler, also to me gives you two types of tracks included in this kit Lincoln length, which actually looked pretty nice because they're not super super detailed in real life.

And then they also have a set of rubber bands, which I haven't really decided.

The rubber bands actually don't look too bad, but we'll play it by ear.

Well, I might just assemble these up and see how they look once they get on their plate like that.

So I'm gonna take the time and cut out all these and gloom together.

It's just a A and B type wheel, so nothing difficult at all on it.

And then I'll start showing you how the suspension goes together.

I'm gonna take the next couple of minutes to show you guys the four different types of suspension that are going to making this kit.

Some of it is little intricate and would probably be easy if I had a extra pair of hands.

As we start building some of the suspension, too, it's saying not to glue the wheels down.

The actual wheel itself is you want the wheel to spin, which, honestly, if we're gonna put Lincoln Link tracks on it really doesn't make any sense to do that, because that point we don't need the wheel to spend anyway, So it it's gonna make it a heck of a lot easier to glue these, uh, these subassemblies together by actually putting a little glue on the wheel.

And I don't plan on role in this around on the floor anything anyway.

This particular one is one free to this side.

And then there's a main bogie suspension piece that you glue multiples together.

So we'll put this one together, snaps right in there and then I'll show you.

The big one here is well, which once again, like I said, we're gonna put the glue on the wheel is the touch.

Because if you don't, the wheels start popping off, especially when you have four of them like this.

It's that tiny bit of he's in, really helps out.

Then once you get all the suspension parts built that I have here and all will go together pretty, pretty straightforward sometimes when these movable parts could get a little bit tricky to hold on to both sides.

Try to put a little bit extra glue in these areas just so that you have a really good contact.

That way, you don't worry about when you're putting tracks on or anything later on that you're gonna accidentally put too much stress on it and break the track piece for break one of the suspension arms off on it.

Now, you know, I like to build really fast, but this is one time I'm going to let this suspension really dry for a long time and when I could do anything else on this for a while And that's the main point because there's such a small connection points all over this.

We don't want any of the suspension to get all crooked or crazy on it.

So we're gonna let this drive for a couple hours and come back and didn't do this.

We now switch over to the top of the hole.

And to me, it has made it so that the front hatch here is completely workable.

So you just have to be a little careful in making sure not to get glue on that portion of it.

And if we glued it properly, Yeah, this part right here.

We'll probably leave it in the same position, but it's kind of cool, but they do it that way now.

Also, While we've got the top of the hole, we have to use our drill bit.

And there's a bunch of little holes for some of the accessories that go on that we need to drill out right now as well.

Now we're going to start assembling the upper part of the whole.

Ah, now there are a bunch of these little louvers in here that air actually very specific toe where each one of them goes.

So before you just pull him off and start sanding them, which I almost did.

And I just lined him up from 35 to 40 the way they should go on that way, When we go to put him on the kid here, you'll know which one goes where, and you shouldn't confuse him.

Now a few of them are the bigger ones, which are pretty obvious where they go.

But this way, you won't make any mistakes going forward.

Going something on that doesn't belong in certain area messing you up.

So we'll go the rest of those on and then this will just blew right in this place, right here on the back.

And then there's a couple of little lights that will put on a front here as well.

You know, let me show you what I've done so far.

I went ahead and glued up the rubber band tracks and just temporarily placed them in there.

Now, this has got Polly caps attaching top and bottom so you can easily separate this and pull this part if we decided to put the other tracks on.

So now what we're gonna do is work on the exhaust system in the back of this vehicle, and I've gone ahead and actually finished up some of the little assemblies back here.

Make sure that doesn't come out and then carefully have to get this exhaust pipe back there.

You gotta get in the line up inside here as well.

And you don't wanna let cement set up too much on that other pipe.

Just with one reason that you wanna have a little flexibility in it.

So it'll make sure in line up with this piece, so snap that and actually see that little area right there fit very, very well.

We'll put a little cement on that and might have to put a tiny bit of party on it, but it would just squeeze that right in together.

But if it really, really well, so I'm gonna go and do the other side, and then I'll show you the next set of the fuel tank.

And that part went together very, very easily, just like the 1st 1 No problems with fit at all.

I'm always going attach this piece back here first, and then we're gonna go ahead and attach these brackets.

You really want to be careful that you put these in the right way?

Because if you don't, it's going to be upside down and you'll never get it in the look.

So you had a little tiny Well, let's go up on top.

And then I've been working on this piece right here, sanding it, getting it ready.

I'll probably have to do a little bit more on, but you'll see how this will just drop right into place right here on the back, on the exhaust in the extra fuel tank on the back.

We are putting on the rest of the parts that go on for the side armor, these air, the actual little return rollers that go inside that will support the top of the track.

And once we've put that all together, this will slide right up inside here.
