Valentine Mk. VIII/IX & Mk. X/XI

Name Valentine Mk. VIII/IX (cat. No. 7280) a Mk. X/XI (cat. No. 7281)

Manufacturer MR Modellbau (Germany)

Packing Plastic bag with carton label

Kit type Multimedia conversion set

Quality Both sets contain wheels, turret and some small improvements část from light baige resin. They also contain gun barrel and some more small parts made from white metal. The resin parts are well cast, with some exceptions, unfortunately hard to fix (inside of road wheels).

Instructions Not too clear, the manufacturer probably assumes you have enough references. It contains short text about the particular version

Decals no

General impression & Note A sets for experienced modeller, rookies (me) will probably have big problems. Both sets differ according to particular versions. It means that the later versions contain co-axial machine gun, which was missing in the earlier versions. All versions (VIII-XI) serviced also in the USSR. I’ve heard that the Russian vehicles used different tracks from those contained in ESCI/Italeri kit, but I found no evidence for that. If anyone has more info, please contact me. Thanks to Milan for the review sample.
