Unlike the Grants and Stuart etc, there will not be a source of spares readily available for the Valentine unless you are prepared to buy from NZ or UK.
Front armour is like rocking horse poo and turrets are even harder to find.
Nearly every Valentine that I have seen here in WA is of the same configuration as those in the photos, in other words, no turret, no front armour, no side guards and no accessories. All of these were removed in the UK before shipping over to Australia.
Best of luck though. The Valentine is certainly a beautiful tank.
