1/72 UNL-35 Armoured Car preview

We had been working on an UNL-35 Armoured Car model from a long since but, due to an unexpectable issue, it became unavoidable to halt that particular project for a while, before re-taking it from the very start again, under hands of a new 3D designer. The re-started model has been progressing steadily and fast lately, so that we're at last tightly close to have its 3D prototype finished. That's what it currently looks like:

A deadline for its launching cannot be given yet; we expect to 3D print a first prototype of it during Summer, so that ideally its first production copies ought to be ready at some time within Autumn. Just for case, we have it currently scheduled for Winter.

Your thoughts?

New 1/72 Henschel Type 33 truck

20GEV015 box
We've finally got available a new model kit at 1/72 scale. This time it's the turn for a softskin, the Henschel type 33 truck - a heavy workhorse used by both Legion Condor and Nationalists at SCW, and later by the German Army all through WWII. Just as its already released 1/56 version, we have conceived it as a fast assembly kit, mainly in resin with a few white metal parts. Kits does also include the white metal figure of a SCW driver, sculpted as usual by Juan Bautista.

Here you have one of such trucks, once painted and depicted by Rubén Torregrosa of Heresy Brush:

This new 1/72 scale softskin is available at our website - and hopefully soon from our main stockists and retailers too!

Prototypes of Benach M1935 Fast Tank

Lot of time passed since our last piece of news regarding this amazing pre-war tank project - the blueprints of which had remained unknown until past year, as we told you in previous posts. As a matter of fact we've been silently working on it - although from a second line, for we considered it prioritary to push harder other, more SCW-related projects. It has never been put aside, though - so we can proudly show you now the ultimate prototypes of this Inter-wars tank at both 1/72 and 1/100 scales:
99IGV002
According to our plans, the kit is to include both alternative running configurations - on tracks and on wheels. Here below you can see them compared to their respective scale T-26 tanks:
Benach & T26 compared
It's a bit soon still for giving you a certain, precise deadline for its releasing - but we hope to be able to release it by Autumn.

Figures sets merging

Some time ago we showed you a preview of our upcoming Republican Militiawomen set, that ought to consist of 15 female fighters. We had at start planned to make this set be followed later by an eventual Female Command & Weapons set including several figures else --many of which not strictly to first line jobs.

After some feedback sought, we later understood there wasn't room enough for such second set, that would likely please some collectors but would be hardly usable by most wargamers. This is the reason why we've in the end decided to create a single, merged Militiawomen set by adding a few figures else to those 15 already cast. I'd like now to show you the greens of those 4 supplementary figures:
20GEF011 leader
This one would be the company or battalion leader. Sculpting is closely inspired in the historical character of Mika Feldman - an Argentinian militiawoman who earned the rank of captain in the Republican Army.
20GEF011 flag bearer
You can watch above the standard bearer --female battalions flags to be included in this expanded set.
20GEF011 LMG team
And last, the 2 women LMG team --please note the Chauchat MG.

Besides, we've taken advantage of this compulsory program change for also sculpting the figure that will compliment our forthcoming Bookmobile kit --either as its librarian or driver, at user's will:
20GEV024 driver
Hope you like them as much as I do!
