  Matilda tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tank, Infantry, Mk II was designed at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich and built by Vulcan Foundry, as an improvement on the Mk I which was a two man tank with only machine guns for armament.
Due to the thickness of its armour, it was largely immune to the guns of the German tanks in France.
Matilda II tanks remained in action until the last day of the war in the Wewak, Bougainville and Borneo campaigns, which made the Matilda the only British tank to remain in service throughout the entire war.

This is the full story of the Churchill tank; from the design of an oversized prototype in Belfast in 1940 to its final achievements against Communist forces in the Korean War some ten years later.
Much light is shed on other matters such as development of tank armament, as well as the often conflicting demands and sometimes confusion and interference in design and production.
As tank development is always a continuing tale, he also describes the original "shelled area" tank which spawned Churchill and ends with Black Prince, a sort of Super Churchill, which appeared in time to be made unnecessary by the replacement of two streams of tanks by one, universal design.

This was not to be the end of its fighting days as the anti-Bolshevist forces used the tank during the Russian Civil War.

The M3A3 was a transitional tank between the M2 and successor M3 tanks with air-cooled engines and vertical armor plates and the M5 series with twin V-8 engines and sloped armor plate.
It combined an M3 lower hull with a sloped armor hull and an improved design of rolled armor plate turret with a bustle originally designed to house a British No. 19 wireless set.
V to the British – was to convert a Tamiya M3 with a new turret or M5A1 turret and a resin or scratchbuilt hull.

Six tanks are expected for the holidays, among them a German Tiger I, Panther and Jagdpanther, as well as a US M4 Sherman, M5 Stuart and M36 Jackson.
The only real difference that I could see taking a quick glance of the two models is this; the metal mount that keeps the gun stationary during movement is in the up position (stimulate a moving tank) vs. the usual arrangement where the metal mount for the gun is in the down position....
The tanks are always sold with the famous articulated tracks in metal, exclusive of the mark since 1962.
