Matilda Mk II with crane

The Matilda MK II with crane
Nothing special, just a bit more than an evening work. The Matilda, or as the British called her, the Queen of the dessert, is a really nice model. My model comes from PanzerDepot, so that I had to add only some details to get a new engineering tank for my collection.
The crane itself was done with a sheet of plastic. The dimensions I took from a book, or if you want to save the money, here you find the drawing as well and some nice pictures from a model in 1/72:

The wire is wire from an old electronic part and fits perfect.
At the moment I have no diorama, but you never know…..
