Some new pictures of my Valentine tank, its about time i got some paint on it, well at least an olive drab primer coat. There are still a few details to attend to, i have to ad wires to both front head lights and the rear tail light, still have to make a few of the tools and 2 or 3 other minor details but thats about it before i repaint it in a sand color if anyone sees something i forgot please let me know. As always any and all comments welcome.

Hi,

I think it looks fine but I saw two things.

1) the return rollers are a bit misangled, but that can be the pics or it is your purpose.

2) at the back of the tank I see an ugly gap.

That were the ''things''.

Thanks Hilbert none of the suspension components are glued in just set up for the pictures, the seam in the back i will have to fix thanks.

Very good work! Keep on going, you're on the right tracks!
Cheers and happy modelling!

Thanks for the comments guys, i fixed that nasty looking seem in the back and a few glue marks i saw in the pics, every time i take another look at the model i find something i missed, thats what i get for working on such an old dog of a kit, but i am enjoying the build i will post more picks soon.

Nice job. What kit is this? I built the Bishop (a Valentine derivative) last year from a russian kit. It was terrible! Have you used much AM items. I used the Moskit exhaust, a metal barrel, Fruil tracks and a Tamiya 25lb gun carriage to make it a reasonable model.

Thanks Shaun, thats a nice looking Bishop. I used the VM kit,I didn' use any aftermarket stuff no PE everything so far is scratch built including the aluminium gun barrel, fender supports, fender ribs, replaced most of the bolt heads gun mantel and all the grab handles, complete rear engine deck, headlight mounts and piping, there are pictures of the in progress build in my gallery.
