Dragon/Alan/VM never did a Valentine III. They did the Infantry Tank III, Valentine II/IV. This is a common mistake among kit makers due to misunderstanding the British infantry tank nomenclature. ESCI did the same with the Churchill, calling it a MkIV, when its a Infantry Tank IV, Churchill III. The actuall Infantry Tank III, Valentine III had a three man turret with a circular hatch.

There are two good articles over on ML.

1. DML Valentine by Peter Brown, and
2. A Silk Purse from a Sow’s Ear by JP Morgan, alas the photo have gone from this article.

cheers
