New 1:35 Landesa tractor

Our friends of ResinLab have surprised us with a previously unexpected novelty: the 1/35^th scale version of the SCW artillery tractor Landesa, one sample of which is already in our hands. It consists of a resin cast hull complemented by two also resin track sets as well as a good number of 3D printed accessories.

Also, just to recall we are going to briefly reopen Minairons website this midnight (23:00h London time) for a final clearance sale. Don't miss it!

No news on Minairons' eventual survival, sadly. Some have shown interest in acquiring this or that range, but nothing can be set for granted yet.

Upcoming 1:600 Late galleass

As said a few days prior, there's still a number of finished but unreleased projects that I'm willing to share right before closure.

This one of today is another of such cases: a 1:600^th scale large galleass --not of the type used at Lepanto, but a later model dating back to the second half of 17^th century to early 18^th century. Those late galleasses did no longer constitute the backbone of any Mediterranean navy, but were still widely used either for commerce or as prestige vessels.

The current model kit has been designed according to one precise Venetian galleass, but several others of this period are known and are quite similar, used at least by France and the Ottoman Empire too.

Prior to our current family health issues, I was assembling and painting a sample model; however, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it in time to provide you a decent boxart. So this one above is most likely to be the model kit's box ultimate look.

Vallejo products sale

Just as with products from other brands, when I temporarily reopen Minairons miniatures webshop again in a couple of weeks, I'm going to offer a 50% discount offer on all products from Acrylicos Vallejo that I currently still have in stock.

Such promotion applies both to their Model Color paints and Toray synthetic brushes, until end of stocks.

Upcoming 1:144 MiG-3 fighter

'Wait. Weren't you going to shut down Minairons miniatures brand? Why launching new products now, then?'

Indeed. However, there were a number of already finished projects that I wanted to share right before closure.

Such is the case of our upcoming 1:144^th Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 WWII fighter, which will be available for purchase right from mid August (when the website is briefly reopened for a clearance sale) till the very end of Minairons miniatures around Christmas.

Italeri products sale

Just as previously announced for Zvezda and Peter Pig stuff, when I reopen Minairons miniatures website next month, I'm going to offer a 50% discount on all products Italeri there, mainly 1:72^nd scale WWII model kits belonging to their fast assembly range, as well as some of their plastic figure boxes.

Such sale is going to last just until end of stocks, of course.

Zvezda products sale

Just as with Peter Pig's figures and models, when I briefly reopen Minairons miniatures webshop next month, I'm going to offer a 50% discount offer on all products from Zvezda --a renowned Russian model kit company whose products I've been retailing for the past few years.

Such sale comprises all of their WWII-related 1:144^th scale plastic aircraft, 1:100^th scale plastic vehicles and 1:72^nd scale plastic figures and ordnance, as well as their GNW-related 1:72^nd scale figures - all those we do have in stock, I mean.

Such sale is going to last just until end of stocks, naturally.

Peter Pig products sale

As a first step in the gradual process of dismantling Minairons miniatures webshop, I've thought it logical to cease retailing some third party products, such as those from Peter Pig --a British make mostly known for their 15mm white metal figures, as well as their 1:100^th scale resin or metal vehicles and accessories.

Such sale is going to consist of a 50% discount offer on all products Peter Pig in our website, currently comprising their 4mm Age of Sail ships and naval accessories, as well as their 15mm SCW and WWII figures, vehicles, artillery and accessories.

Such sale will start as soon as Minairons Miniatures website is reopen by mid August. And, quite obviously, it is going to last just until end of stocks.

Facing the inevitable

Minairons miniatures will definitely close doors before Year's End. It has not been possible to reach an agreement that would allow its survival, and at this point it makes no sense for me to continue struggling to keep the website open, despite being retired and with current family health problems.

Consequently, Minairons.eu will close for 60 days starting from June 18; time necessary to address the aforementioned health problems. After that, I will briefly reopen the website to liquidate stocks and that will be the end of it all.

Orders currently in progress will be processed normally, and we will continue to respond to your queries or requests by email at info@minairons.cat. It has been encouraging and exciting while it lasted. Thanks for your kind support.
