Review of the new Valentine, looks a very nice kit, and at a reasonable price for a 1/35 tank these days (£33).  Shame about the individual track links  :banghead:

I like the look of the British one, but never built anything with individual track links  :banghead:

:lol: And I actually pay extra money for sets with individual track links!   :o

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Mini Art has some new stuff coming up.  Of particular interest (to me at least) are the tank crews.

Hannants have these in now:

Those look useful for all sorts of things, not just as tank riders.

They also have the Valentine Mk.1 in, which includes that figure set as well:

Not sure if this is new, but it's quite a good idea.  Modular building sections in 35th scale.

Mini Art have another Panzer crew for release.  Judging by the leathers, I'd hazard a guess at them being 'Hitlerjugend' panzer troops.

A real change from the usually 'relaxed' poses for armour crewmen.

That Gaz MM Mod. 1941 was just a copy of a Ford truck. But it does beg some serious hot rodding. I'd love it in 1/25 or 1/24th.
