15mm/1:100 scale Valentine I infantry tank – solid resin, hand-painted, and weathered. Ideal for collectors and wargaming.
The Valentine I tank, a British infantry tank produced during World War II, played a significant role in the early stages of the conflict. Designed by Vickers-Armstrong, the Valentine I was part of a family of tanks named after the then-popular month of February. Introduced in 1940, the tank was characterized by its distinct, riveted construction and a relatively small size, making it well-suited for infantry support. Armed with a 2-pounder gun and equipped with moderate armor, the Valentine I was effective in engaging enemy infantry and light vehicles. Although it eventually became overshadowed by more advanced tank designs, the Valentine I contributed to the British war effort and the broader Allied forces during the crucial early years of World War II. Its legacy endures as a symbol of the diverse and evolving nature of armored warfare during that tumultuous period.
