Introduction


This is my representation of the Infantry Tank Mk III, Valentine Mk II built from the MiniArt Valentine Mk IV 35092 kit. It is finished as a training tank from Headquarters Squadron, 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry, 20th Armoured Brigade, 6th Armoured Division, in the UK between October1940 and April 1942.

I built the kit as part of a Review Blog which you can link to here Valentine Blog

I added some additional detail to the build for fun but, I haven't decided on a final setting so the turret still needs joined to the hull and final weathering is not yet complete.

The figuers are from Hornet and Resicast and the base is a generic one form the SB Scotia range by SB Models.

This is one great built! The olive drab looks good. Did you mix it yourself or is it out of the bottle. Great photography too. Congratulations.
