I thought I’d seen this Valiant before, here’s some more pictures and info. of it prior to its demise. Just click on ‘Simon Steggall’s Valiant’:

Such a pity it crashed it looked a stunning model and huge too judging by the picture of it stood on it’s nose against a two store building!!! :shock: .

Also worth a look is ‘Keith Mitchell’s 33% Hunter’.
