18th Century Spanish Man-of-war flags

We've released our first 1:600 scale 18th Century Naval flags set, devoted to Spanish warships between 1701 and 1785 --roughly, the lapse of time between the War of Spanish Succession start and the American Revolution aftermath. Under rule of the new Bourbon dynasty, Spanish flags at sea changed quite drastically with regard to previous centuries, now showing the royal arms on a plain white field --for white was the Bourbon livery.

Here above you can see a couple of flag sets used on a frigate and a brig from Peter Pig (painting by myself).

New website Section and Range

Minairons had got so far known primarily for its range of Spanish civil war miniatures, mainly at 1/72nd scale, but also to some extent at 1/100th and 1/56th too. However, I am writing these lines to formally start a completely new range of model kits, dedicated to a totally different period and on a different scale.

So, while a professional artist begins to give color and volume to our first model of such new range (a large Age of Sail transoceanic Renaissance galleon at 1/600th scale, that can be watched in the photo above), please allow me to introduce the new section we have just open on Minairons website:

Awaiting the release date of such first model, our naval collection already consists of a dozen sheets of ensigns and naval flags of XVII and XVIII centuries, complemented by the complete Range 18 from Peter Pig, consisting of sail ships and various accessories (crews, cannons and rowing boats). As you can see from the attached photos below (taken on models from my own collection decorated with Minairons flags), there is a high compatibility between both brands' products:

Our current schedule can be checked on our blog's Pipeline page, while a wide selection of sail ships, as well as 17th and 18th centuries naval flags sets are awaiting adhesions in our website Wishlist page.
