Interwar tanks: Vickers No. 1 and Matilda I A11 scale models (Vargas 1/35 3D printed kits)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- Reviewing these 3D printed kits of two rare subjects: the Matilda I A11 tank and the Vickers No. 1 interwar tank. Both are unavailable as injection molded kits, so check out how these 3D prints stack up.
Only a handful of prototypes of the Vickers No.1 were made during the interwar years, being tested in the early 1920s. Although an ultimately unsuccessful design, it paved the way for future vehicles.
The Matilda I A11, not to be confused with the later and completely different Matilda II, featured heavy armour but limited firepower. It saw action early in WW2. Those that weren't destroyed during the BEF's retreat to Dunkirk were used as training vehicles in England until the end of the war.

Very interesting subjects in 1/35 scale. Very cool!
Thanks - glad you liked it
Some very nice looking kits, looking forward to seeing your work on them.
Thanks. I've just been preparing the Vickers No.1 for paint today :)
Nice kits. Thank you for sharing 👍.
Thank you Derrel - glad you liked them.
I picked up the Matilda at the South West Model show. Really impressed with the quality of the parts. I spoke to the bloke selling them in the tank story hall, he said that they were very popular. Even said a bloke from Kent specifically came down to pick one up. Looking forward to building mine at some point
Excellent! Well I really hope they are able to expand the range on offer in this country: I suspect shipping and import costs put off a lot of people from buying these from the US.
Trailer ? Anyway still would like the turret diameter please ?
@@stardudez 45mm diameter
*Very interesting video about "strange" vehicles designed between 2 wars, and so many more ... also some french ones! And these kits can be build in a minute, thanks for sharing us this kind of products!*
Thanks fot commenting - glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing! Would love to see a build/paint/weathering vid shortly!
Thanks Mark. I'm hoping to get a lot of modelling done this weekend :)
Burstyn Motorgeschutz is actually Austrian and is competitor for title of a first tank ever. But Austrians in 1912 thought it wasn't a good idea so it wasn't developed.
Thanks for the correction - I always appreciate learning something new :)
@@ModelNerd Sure thing. I'm very glad you'll be building these kits. Rare models are always a treat
Wow! I have never seen this version of the landship. It almost makes wonder if they have the TOG 1 model lol. Thanks for sharing this man. :-)
Cheers mate - glad you liked it. It's very refreshing to see their range!
In one of your videos, you couldn't think of the term for a tank turret used as a fortification. The name for that is a 'Tobruk'.
Thank you Brian!
These kits prove that there is loads of potential from 3D printing. The price is a bit of an obstacle at the moment but it wouldn't surprise me if the speed and resolution of printing increases dramatically in the next few years making 3D printing a very viable way of producing a vast variety of "kits". I say kits but at the moment these are more of an assembly model than a kit.
Yes, for sure. That is one bit I would miss - I really enjoy the building part of the process.
I enjoy the fact you can find the latest " unusual" kits. In fact I have some possibly odd theories about these kits. It appears that the 3D printing equipment as become price effective along with software sophisticated enough to address a kind of a niche market. It could be called Custom Order on Demand. While costly at first you can get more detail and odd kits that a model company would not expense the molds for. Not that Airfix or Tamiya and others have anything to worry about, yet :-) I think it is definitely an evolutionary level for the model world This company may be the one that started the 144 scale Spitfire models, I don't recall their name and have only seen the webpage once. These tank kits look very nice except for the sprues which are very strange but nature of the beast to 3D printing. I imagine some builders including myself have had to cut back on the number of kits because of pricing. Between the kit cost, the materials to build them almost equal the price of the kit. So the hobby is in the midst of a roller coaster ride at the moment. Once again very interesting video. Cheers.
That would be cool to see such model creators grow
Ah....should have watched this first so now understand...really great looking kits, terrific details and definitely a painting and weathering focus. Bummer re the price.....living in Australia means buying against the US dollar and English pound if their the only purchase options which makes these models extremely pricey once shipping costs are added. I guess we just watch and wait down here to see where 3D printed models go in the future and how it's all managed by model distributors down under.
Yes, that's the biggest stumbling block I think especially for small businesses like this. Beacon Models who made the kits in my recent video are having similar issues.
@@ModelNerd Isn't 1 of them from New Zealand?
Yes, the Bob Semple tank
Cool - interesting topic
Thanks LJ. Yes, an often unexplored era of tank development, I think.
@@ModelNerd definitely sir - thanks for heads up on the tank museum site, enjoy the builds
I think I need the Bob Semple tank. Maybe if I save for a couple months.
I reckon that would be a cool build :)
Can you do shooting panzerwerfer dioroma next time please 🙏🏻
It's a nice idea for sure. I don't have that kit at the moment though and I'm trying to cut down my stash a bit and buy less :) It's not working very well to be honest!
@@ModelNerd its fine lol
Does The Vickers number 1 model have the steering trailer in the box thats whats confusing me thats why I asked for the unassemblied turret size?
No steering trailer, just the tank. Full build video coming on Wednesday :)
@@ModelNerd Still want the turret diameter ?
Or the assemblied length as the as 6 inches in 1/35 gives @ 5.2 m while the other source numbers are 3.9 or 5.58 m long respectively so what is it?
@@stardudez Thought I'd replied on the other thread. 44mm diameter.
@@ModelNerd Yes you did so I didnt see it anyway when you finish could you give the final length?
Not got any resin kits ,I'm a little old man used to Tamiya and Airfix. Realise however you need to move with the time and embrace new technology otherwise we still be listening to 78 records . Bob Semple tank legendary could have spent the family silver when I was in Bovingtons gift shop.
Hehe, I know what you mean. They actually have a really decent selection too, don't they? Better than some model shops I've seen.
How big is the length when assembled in 1/35?
It's about 15cm
@@ModelNerd Is there a plan view ?
I haven't seen one online and my kit is in pieces at the moment awaiting paint :)
Ok how about the turret diameter then in mm ? I have seen two different specs for this 3.93 m and 5.58m in length . Just trying to see which is right. Thanks
So can you measure the turret diameter this will tell me which source is correct? As its one piece ?
The NZ tank looks like a converted Bull Dozer...😁
With corrugated iron on the side :)
Pretty much, they were a converted Caterpillar tractor, it almost needs to be built with the A-Team music playing in the background.
@@user-wf2lm3vi7o 😆😆😆
Lovely subjects, but too pricey for me.
Yes, it's a chunk of money - especially for the Vickers tank, which has so few parts.
🤝🎥👍
Thanks Igor
Wonderfull modells. The only thing against 3D PRINTED modells is that it seems that most of The materiel are just for supporting The structures so a lot of plastic with no use. That is The problem with this metod!
That's definitely true for the finer parts such as the Matilda tracks. On the other hand, sometimes with plastic kits we get a lot of sprue for rather few parts :) Ever had a Minart kit where the sprue connection gate is thicker than the part itself?
@@ModelNerd so it should be possible to minimize The volume of unused plastic if The cosumers tell The produceras to try to do it.
Hi MN, I love this era of armored vehicles! I am very excited to see how you treat them and if you will make a setting for these iconic pieces. I am riveted with these builds. No pun intended. LOL
Hehe. Thanks Michael. I'm going to try to build (well, clean up) and prime the Vickers this weekend :)
Matilda 1 available from accurate armour (based in Scotland) in resin
Are they still available? The last time I looked they had be unavailable for some time.
@@ModelNerd I think so. Halfway through build of mine but did buy it about a year ago
They did a new batch of this last Oct /Nov time (2022)!
