PSC Valentine Mk.III (15mm)

This is the 15mm (1/100) Valentine Mk.III from the Plastic Soldier Company.

I may have gone a little bit overboard with the weathering I think. The vehicles in the desert took quite a hammering from the environment, but in this case I might have got a bit carried away. Ah well.

Oh don't be too hard to yourself, the tank just got into a sand storm....

I like it, the Valentine looks fantastic!

The PSC 15mm (1/100) Valentine sprue includes parts to make alternate turrets for the Mk.II, Mk.III, or Mk.IX versions of the tank. These two images show the turrets for the Mk.II (above) and the Mk.IX (below) on the hull I finished yesterday.

A lot of Valentines ended up being stripped down, having their hatches welded open, and being parked in playgrounds all over New Zealand. They seem to have been steadily disappearing over the years; I suppose they're not politically correct or appropriately plastic and rounded playground equipment these days.
