WOW !

Excellent.

Probably going to want a few of them.

Nice!

Well this is very welcome.  I didn't expect so many variants.  I hope an Archer can be done as well; it's probably the most useful variant.

Already got a couple of kit bash ideas , take a mark III , remove bolts on nose , liquid green stuff to look like it's cast and add a co ax Browning 30 cal , and I've got my self a Canadian built mark Vi to send to Russia . OK , there's a little  more to it then that but you get the idea

An update post for the Valentine had been LONG OVERDUE!

Here is a quick glimpse of what quality you will be expecting from the Valentine plastic sprues... this roadwheel is only 8.66mm in diameter.  It is not just the front side of the wheel that is covered with bolts and nuts, you can figure out the rest!!



Enjoy!

That looks great , well done Rubicon

Nice work on the wheels.

This is the preliminary design of the Valentine decal sheet for Commonwealth (UK for Europe & NZ for the Pacific) and Lend-Lease (Russia) tanks. 

Each sheet has over a dozen choices for the Commonwealth and over a half-dozen for the Russians... plus individual numbers to make your own.

What do you think?  If no further comments, we will send it to our printer for production over the weekend.




Enjoy!

Looks good to me, though I admit I don't know a lot of details about the Valentine or the units that used it. It's nice to see some options for the Soviets, though.

Also, any chance of an update on the model itself? We haven't actually seen it other than a pre-render, and it'd be great to see how it's coming along...

interesting. What are the blocks top right, shipping information?

How is the model itself going?

Had missed (probably forgetting to) posting the sprues and things onto the forum, will do it soon!

Those are shipping info (bill number, etc) for all lend-lease vehicles leaving port.  In this case, almost everything going to Russia had them.

Here are the images of the sprues and test-assembled samples of several Valentine variants...

Very impressive. Loving the early war version (of course). Already have a resin of this, but it has not been assembled as of yet. I will hold off and get me several of these instead! Loving the details!

Will the equipment rail/bar on the side skirts be molded in place, or will they be optional? They look a little oversized. The rest of the model looks great
