Great News on the Valentine

¹⁄35

Bronco Models has sent Armorama some great news on the late model Valentine tank, and also has some very welcome news for fans of World War Two British kit in general.

Bronco Models has taken in hand all of the late versions of the Valentine tank from MiniArt and all of the late versions of Valentine tank kit will have more than 90% brand new parts for the suspension, road wheels, upper & lower hull, turret & accessories. Also coming soon from Bronco Models is a British World War Two field accessories set which will make adding stowage to British Vehicles easier generally. I suspect this is also great news for British diorama fans.

This was always the version of the valentine that seemed like the best looking one to me. I always wondered how cramped it could've been in there. Seeing as bronco kits are a bit expensive, I might just pass on it until I start my summer job

Sure, they have low prices, but when you factor in the shipping they come to about the same as LHS prices. Plus, depending where you live, you could also get stuck with a hefty customs or duty charge!

As much as I like to support my local store, I find that Hobby Easy & Lucky Model's prices are low enough that if yuo order 2-3 kits, the shipping costs become a small part of the overall expense and the models are significantly cheaper than any of the LHSs. And, while taxes are a potential issue, I have yet to get dinged for taxes on any of my Chinese purchases. US boxes get stopped every time, but the Chinese stuff just sails throgh making the deal even better! Just sayin'. Paul
