After Maquettes Bishop the Valentine comes of course. Made out of the box until no other company does a new one, you can always go back to it.
Painted in Humbrol khaki drill 72 and red brown 186. With lots of dirty washing for a dusty Libya. The making of the tracks was a nightmare, broken links and so fiddly,fiddly.

Hi
very nice build, like the camo.
I built a Valentine made by Toga ( probably made from the same mould) about 3 months ago but didn't post any pics. mine I did as a Soviet lend lease vehicle in a plain green finish. I can sympathise with the tracks they were a pain on my build as well.
