Matilda, 1/48 - Hauler HLX48327

Hauler HLX48327 is a 1/48 photo-etched set designed to add extra detail to a Tamiya Matilda tank model at the same scale. This is a static modelling accessory, intended to complement a compatible plastic kit, not a complete model to be assembled.

The photo-etched metal parts make it possible to add fine elements to the Matilda’s reproduction. Their installation requires careful preparation: precise separation of the parts, bending when needed, and gluing using adhesive suitable for photo-etched parts.

The Matilda is an iconic British infantry tank from the Second World War. Its heavy armor made it a particularly recognizable vehicle among British armored vehicles of this period.

Assembly and finishing

A fine pair of tweezers, a modelling blade, and a bending tool are useful for working with photo-etched parts. A primer for metal can help with painting, before integrating the parts onto the model. This set is a relevant add-on for modellers who want to enhance the level of detail of a Tamiya Matilda in 1/48 scale.
