Artikelbezeichnung: 1:35 Brit. Valentine Mk. II/IV
This is an all new tooled model of the British Valentine Infantry tank
in 1/35 scale. British armor doctrine in the 1930 s up to the outbreak of
WWII called for 2 types of tank - more mobile cruiser tanks and heavy,
slow infantry tanks. The Valentine was a prolifically produced example
of the latter (7,315 units, more than 30% of British tank production in
WWII). It was based upon existing cruiser tank designs and relatively
easy to manufacture, a critical point for the British military after it
had lost so much material during the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. The
Valentine would see extensive action in North Africa, particularly the
Mk.II and Mk.IV variants (they had different engines) depicted by this
kit. Over 4,500 were also handed over to the Soviet Union under the
lend-lease agreement, the Red Army using them mainly for recon work.
