17th to 20th cent. Portuguese ensigns

28GEV015

We've just made available three new sets of 1:600th scale Age of Sail ensigns, that span for over three centuries of Portuguese history: a set of 17th century merchant ships, another one of a 18th century man-of-war and lastly the flag set of Potuguese Navy from 1830 to 1910.

After these recent releases, our naval flags collection has already expanded to 60 sheets of a growing selection of seafaring nations, from the Age of Discovery to Pax Britannica's times! In Minairons' website, these are categorized into three different folders:

1:56 Henschel Type 33 Truck is back too!

28GEV015

Now it's the 1:56th scale version of Henschel Type 33 heavy truck what has come back as a digital product - that is, as a set of STL files for 3D-printing. It has been simplified so as to have less parts; but it still stands as a multi-part set, in order to ease its painting job, as well as an eventual customization - with separate parts for chassis, front, cab roof, bed, wheels and optional tarpaulin, toolbox and steering wheel.

28GEV015

Henschel's STL files come in a .RAR or .ZIP file on demand. Due to the compressed file exceeding a bit the maximum allowance of our website's software (which is below 2 Mb), an automated download cannot be set; therefore, the STLs must be delivered manually using a secure service such as WeTransfer after order is paid for.

Also, we are already working out the same with another well-known 1:56 model kit - the Hispano Suiza MC-36 armored vehicle.

1:56 Chevrolet 1.5 ton Truck is back!

28GEV018

Yes the 1:56th scale version of the iconic Chevrolet light truck is back on our shelves - but now as a digital product rather than a physical one. We're now selling it as a set of STL files for 3D-printing - either by the purchaser himself, or by using a 3D-printing service.

Despite having simplified a bit the model kit, we've nevertheless kept it as a multi-part set in order to ease its painting job, as well as an eventual customization. So it consists now of separate parts for chassis, front, cab roof, bed, wheels and optional tarpaulin and steering wheel - quite less than its former physical counterpart, that had also separate parts for bumper, headlights and rearview mirror.

Due to the compressed file exceeding a bit the maximum allowance of our website's software (which is below 2 Mb), an automated download cannot be set; therefore, the STLs must be delivered manually using a secure service such as WeTransfer after order is paid for - apologies for the slight inconvenience! Meanwhile, we're planning to set a store front in Wargaming3D shortly.

WSS Jaen I.R. flags and guide

99GSC112

Our War of Spanish Succession flags ranges at 1:100th, 1:72nd and 1:56th scales keep growing steadily - today, by the addition of the colours for another Two Crowns' Spanish unit: Jaén I.R., another well-known regiment in the Spanish Army of that time. Along with the flags, I've also released a PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.

99GSD112

After this release, the above mentioned flag ranges comprise now 10 Two Crowns' Spanish regiments, 7 Austrophile Spanish regiments, another 6 late war Catalan regiments and 4 Portuguese flag designs. Besides, a fourth 1:144th scale range is going to also grow soon, beyond the current 2 Two Crowns' Spanish, 2 Catalan and 1 Portuguese flag sheets - containing three pairs of flags each.
