Valentine XI by Chan Jackson

 Chan's "Lendlease Valentine XI" is an easy kit bash of the Tamiya Valentine and the Maquette Valentine XI. The Tamiya kit is their typical excellent quality and includes link and length tracks. The older Maquette kit is a bit hit-or-miss with some nicely molded parts while others are on the crude side.

Since the Russians rarely repainted Lend Lease vehicles Chan opted to go with brown. The kit was painted with Tamiya's new "Red Brand" 2 paint which is an excellent match for British Brown. 
The base is a grass mat in the Ammo by Mig product line which Chan is not sure he likes but decided to use. The figures are Masterbox Soviet Marines, some of which have replacement heads. They were painted with Vallejo acrylics.
