Units in the Mk.IV version, equipped with a GMC gasoline engine and redesigned armor, were supplied in large numbers to the USSR as part of Allied support. Valentine tanks played an important role in the battles of Stalingrad, Kursk, and in various offensives on the Eastern Front, where their reliability and ease of maintenance were highly valued. They were often used in mixed armored battalions and provided infantry support during assault operations.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eAbout the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The AFV Club 35199 set stands out for its high level of detail and attention to features characteristic of the version delivered to the USSR, including Russian markings and modifications resulting from use in the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front.
