More sets of Naval Flags

This week I've just released another batch of 18^th and 19^th centuries naval flags - this time, both the US and CS late war ensigns, as well as a curious pirate flag which, unlike most others, is not black or red, but white instead - this apparently odd choice probably due to this particular pirate being French while, as some maybe already know, French Navy ensigns of that time being plain white.

They're all already available at Minairons' website - I cannot guarantee for how long is it going to remain open though, before I proceed to temporarily close it again, due to ongoing family health issues.

New 1:144 Bristol Bulldog

We have a new Interwar and Spanish Civil War fighting aircraft, the Bristol Bulldog. A small number of them was acquired by the Spanish Republic from Estonia, being mainly used in the Basque Country.

This new fighter is already available at Minairons' website --which BTW is open again for business, unless an unexpected turn happens with the family health current issues.

New sets of Naval Flags

I'm happy to announce the release of a new batch of 18^th and 19^th centuries naval flags - today, those of the Russian Vanguard Fleet between 1700 and 1865, as well as a couple of sets related to the American Civil War, depicting the early war flags of both sides, from 1861 to 1863.

They're all already available at Minairons' website - which BTW is to remain open for one or two weeks, before having to shut it down again due to ongoing family health issues.

WSS Rubí's Infantry Regiment flags

I'm pleased to share a further addition to our War of Spanish Succession flag ranges at 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 scales altogether. These new sets display the flags of the Maruis of Rubí Infantry Regiment, raised in 1713 by himself as Charles Habsburg's viceroy of Majorca, with the purpose to help defend the island face a foreseeable Two Crowns' invasion of the island - which actually happened in 1715. Along with the flags, I've also released a small PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.

Plastic Soldier Co. stuff sale

As some of you perhaps already know, I have recently retired from active work. Under such circumstances, I've thought it wiser to gradually cease retailing some third party products - with the aim to keep selling only Minairons' own stuff in the long run.

This way, I've just started a series of clearance sales of such kind of third party products still in stock. This first sale comprises a small lot of Plastic Soldier Company's 15mm figure boxes - some of which is out of stock in PSC's own webshop.

Quite obviously, such sale is going to last just until end of stocks.

Minairons' website, temporarily closed

Minairons' online shop is temporarily closed until August 21, due to logistical reasons: most of our service or product providers have started Summer holidays, basically. But also I wanted a little time to rest and start figuring out my future after having retired.

Those few orders still in course will be processed normally, and users will be acknowledged of eventual status updates as usual. Also, I'll be still there to assist eventual questions or requirements at info [at] minairons [dot] cat; however, until the date above no new orders can be placed.

Citroën saloon, now in 1:100 scale

The 1:100^th scale version of Citroën C14 saloon car is already here. Unlike its larger 1:72^nd scale sister, this one comes as a single piece, so requiring no assembly at all.

This new civilian vehicle has a few variants depending on spare tyres location and presence of fog lights, supplied at random.

Foreign Legion is here!

Minairons' 20mm Legionaries are already here! We're just expecting the box art to be completed. The job is in hands of Mar H. Pongiluppi, who has been behind our figure sets box art all these years. Despite quite busier now than before, because she's become director of an Art School, she gladly volunteered to design our Foreign Legion graphic art. I beg you a little patience until this final step is completed!

Meanwhile, here you have a sneak peek on what do our legionaries look like, once cast!
