For the fording lines, there is always the option of using plain lining for model locomotives.

Fox transfers do a range of sizes (other manufacturers are available).

I do love a Matilda, my fave tank of WW2 … and I believe it was the only tank in frontline service from '39 to '45.

Still in service into the 'fifties in Australian civil defence.

Actually they served with the CMF (reserves) until about 1955, alongside the M3 Grants. If you game Balikpapan, you can include a Grant dozer and a Covenanter bridgelayer in your box of toys.

For ‘what ifs’ there’s always the Matilda Hedgehog, the same Hedgehog spigot mortar set up used to sink U-boats but bolted on a frame to the rear of a Matilda For post war colour, the  ‘not quite a Sexton’  Grant hulled Yeramba SPG is a fun beast. Still not tired of Australian silliness? Eureka and Company B produce the AC1 Sentinel for those wanting something for home defence.

@Carlos,
  Thanks for the direction to Company B.  Rubicon British Commonwealth decal set 1 has ANZAC markings too.

Slightly off topic, but Company B do a Ram turret to fit on the Warlord Ram Kangaroo if you want more Commonwealth hardware.
