Tamiya 1/35 Valentine Mk.II/IV Model Introduction

The British Infantry Tank Mk.III Valentine Mk.II/IV holds a recognised place in WWII armour development thanks to its rugged layout and service record. This 1/35 Tamiya assembly kit renders the tanks silhouette and fittings to give enthusiasts an accurate project with strong historical context.

Operational History and Roles

Launched in 1940, the Valentine supported British forces across multiple theatres. It was prominent from November 1941 in the North African fighting and continued through the Tunisian campaign to 1943. The Mk.II/IV was equipped with a 40mm 2-pounder gun and a 130 hp diesel engine, and many units were dispatched to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease arrangements.

Construction Features and Modelling Notes

The kit reproduces the Mk.II/IV with care, including the "slow motion" coil sprung suspension that defines the running gear. It suits builders who enjoy precise assembly and attention to authentic detailing, making it a rewarding subject for display collectors.
