Afv Club have just sent us news of a VERY surprising release.
Scheduled for release in Summer 2010 is:

AF35178 - British Infantry Tank Mk.III Valentine Mk.I

Now, unusually, rather than sending us images in the conventional manner, they've sent us links to a CAD Animation of the New model:

HERE (LINK)

Finally, a touch of 'Rumor Control'to allay some of the rumors which are being put out. This new Valentine is ENTIRELY, 100% their OWN development. It isn't any kind of co-operative project, it's their OWN product.

My thanks to AFV Club for the Update and the clarification!

What kind of Bizarro world am I living in when there are TWO new tool Valentines coming out?

Not about the Valentine, but seems that their sIG33 gun has been launched without any further notice. At least I've got a message form through eBay from a taiwanese webshop. It's offered for 15,99 USD what I think is quite reasonable.

Exactly! I've been waiting for their 105mm and Pack Howitzer for over a year now... Cheers, Mike

would i be wrong in thinking that with the imminent release of the Valentine maybe a Bishop or even an Archer may be following? ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

Ok, who will be first with this one? AFV or MiniArt I think MiniArt may have the edge here as their kit looks good, must be close to release, comes with figures (a major plus), has a partial interior and is likely to be a tad cheaper. I'll look forward to both, and also to 'what else they have in mind! Great place Bovington Al

they have added more "blueprints" images: one showing how the workable suspension works (i think) and an image of what looks like an individual track link
