Valentine Armoured Troop (x5) (Plastic) BBX43

Valentine Armoured Troop (Plastic) (BBX43)
Contains five plastic Valentine tanks, one plastic Tank Commander sprue, one Decal sheet and eight Unit cards.

The Valentine was designed as a cheaper alternative to the old Matilda infantry tank. Weighing in at just 17 tonnes, it was faster and almost as heavily armoured, though it retained the same light 2 pdr gun. Its biggest improvement was its mechanical reliability. The Valentines of 23 Armoured Brigade crossed North Africa on their own tracks, fighting all the way.
