Is the “new” Miniart Valentine really new or is it a rebox of the old Maquette, Alanger, DML (etc) kit? I don’t know the brand and haven’t seen any reviews of the kit so far.
It’s a new tool, and includes indy links and enough interior detail to see through the commander’s and driver’s hatches. In a different league from the Maquette kit.
MiniArt don’t do re-pops of other firms’ stuff.
Cheers,

Thanks, I never heard of Model Art before but the Valentine is a badly neglected subject, so I was hoping this wasn’t just the same old kit.
Don’t forget AFV Club’s announced Valentine as well. WE GET TWO NEW KITS!!!
I’ll put my eggs into the new one by AFV Club, but of course I’ll wait until I see some reviews.
I agree, that this tank has been overlooked by the big names.
FSM has a review in their layest issue on the Mini Art kit. Seems pretty favorable for the most part.
