discussion MkIII Valentine V; Somewhere on Malta...

[Ian M]

Not much to say about this little gem of a kit except it will not be the last one I will be building. It really is that good. Add to that, that there are almost all the variants in separate boxings (some with Transmission and motor detail). I rather fancy one in canter camo next.I can only recommend this one to all tank fans.Here is what I got out of it.

I will just add a big thanks for all the kind words during the build.Ian M

That's a lovely result Ian. The weathering really tied in the camo & looks very natural. There's a lot of nice detail on the tank & you've definitely brought that out. Those Bronco tracks look superb as well!

Another 5* build

Cheers Patrick

Ian, one very, very nice model. I've already given you the big 5. If I could do it again I would....

This really is something special.

That's an excellent job, Ian! Clean build, nice paint job, and subtle but effective weathering. I love the grass - what type/brand did you use?

5 big ones *****

I don't know the make but it was one of those bags you can buy in the model railway shops, its pretty much generic. It was a bit green so I painted it.

[Guest]

Morning Ian, cracking build mate, great camo, excellent detail and weathering, a big 5 stars from me!!!!!

Cheers, Andrew

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Sorry it's late Ian but what a crackin' build, love it matey. I bet the camo made you go cross eyed though lol, big five.

Have fun, John

 

[Guest]

I love the stone wall cammo and you've made a perfect job of it there Ian 5*

 

[tr1ckey66]

Bravo Ian!

Greta stuff, I love it. I think it could be quite easy to make this camo look a bit comedic or unreal but your model looks perfect. Excellent finish, understated weathering that perfectly fits the surroundings - top drawer stuff. 5 stars goes without saying

All the best
