The Tamiya 1/48 Matilda Mk.III/IV Infantry Tank (32572) reproduces the British infantry tank that earned the nickname 'Queen of the Desert' in compact 1/48 scale. The Matilda's exceptional armour for its era made it virtually impervious to most Italian and early German anti-tank weapons in the North Africa campaign of 1940–41, and it also served in Greece, Crete, the Pacific, and the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. Its distinctive squat profile and skirt armour make it immediately recognisable.

A classic early-war British subject now in the convenient 1/48 scale.
