The Matilda II BEF CS model, designed by Bergman, is a meticulously crafted 15mm scale miniature representing the close support variant of the iconic British infantry tank used during World War II. This model is perfect for collectors, wargamers, and history enthusiasts who wish to delve into the specialized roles of armored vehicles in early-war British operations.
 
The Matilda II, also known as the Infantry Tank Mark II, was a key British tank during the early stages of World War II. The BEF (British Expeditionary Force) CS (Close Support) variant was specifically designed to provide additional firepower to support infantry units. Equipped with a 3-inch howitzer instead of the standard 2-pounder gun, the Matilda II BEF CS could deliver high-explosive rounds, making it effective against fortified positions and enemy infantry.
 
The Matilda II BEF CS saw significant action during the Battle of France in 1940, where its thick armor and close support capabilities were invaluable in the fighting retreat to Dunkirk.
