This is now going to be my contribution to the Kasserine pass groupbuild, I will post a picture of the un- built kit when it arrives from ebay land.

I did say recently that from now on unless there was no alternative I was only going to buy new generation Airfix or Tamiya and now I know why, my Tamiya Valentine tank has turned up from e-bay land and I literally cannot wait to get at it, the boxing and artwork are amazing, the moulding of the five tan coloured sprues is crisp and finely detailed and the instruction sheet is of the usual high Tamiya standard.

I wasn't sure if this kit was the correct Mk for this conflict but it turns out the differences between the earlier Mk no's was all in the engines ,externally they all appeared the same, some did have the 6lb gun but they served at the same time so all's well.

I will post pictures as I progress,Cheers N.

Wow, Neil, she looks to be a real beauty, and a perfect addition to the GB. Thanks for joining in!

I may attempt the crew as well, figures are not really my forte but Tamiya have done everything they can to make it easy for me as they are superbly moulded.

Nice addition Neil, look forward to seeing her done.

I know what you mean about 'looking at sprues'! Well done on a great start!

Nice progress Neil, and since they pop together so well, maybe another subject can be done before the deadline? The more the merrier.

Looking good, Neil! Sorry for the delay in response; my PC was on the fritz and a friend set me up with a Mac. It's taken a while to get configured.
