New SCW figures!

This below is the preview of 3 new sets of SCW 20mm figures we're going to release on Saturday 27^th. A first batch of all them has already been cast, so they will be fully available right after Christmas. These new releases consist of 2 different field artillery crews --one for Nationalists and the other for Republicans, ideally-- and a set of Republican vehicle riders, those same included in the IGC Sadurní carrier kit, that will be now available separately.

The Nationalist artillerymen set you can see above consists of 4 figures, a small sprue with a heavy shell and 3 crossed rifles. Similarly, the Republican one comprises 4 figures too, with two of those same shells and a rangefinder on tripod - as it can be seen below:

On the other side, the above commented Republican riders set includes the 4 seated soldiers below. All sets are to be priced at €4.95. Please remember, they'll become available on Saturday!

New 1938 Racing Cars!

We are happy to acknowledge you all about our latest release before Christmas - the first set of a hopefully successful new range, one devoted to 1938 Grand Prix racing cars, that we expect to make at 1/72 and 1/100 scales altogether.

As it can be seen on the picture above, this first set includes 3 different racing cars in a box: Mercedes Benz W154, Auto Union type D and Alfa Romeo c12/312. Each of them consists on a single part resin hull, two white metal shafts, four resin wheels and a white metal driver masterly sculpted by Xan Miniatures for us. Besides, the set is completed by a decals sheet with number serials in white, black, blue and red.

This new set of 1/72 scale 1938 Racing Cars is fully available right now at our website, as well as the Interwar period Benach M1935 fast tank pre-announced some days ago, too.

Benach tank, available for pre-order

Despite the development of our first Interwar AFV has been hampered by every kind of obstacles, we have paciently managed to sort out each one, until the first complete models have started coming out from workshop at last - albeit at a rate lower than desired at first. So that we can now proudly show the first ultimate models of Benach M1935 fast tank at 1/72 scale.

Each boxed set contains 2 complete tanks, mainly in high quality resin with some smaller parts in white metal or plastic. Each tank is accompanied by the full compliment of alternative running gears - for building them as either in on-tracks or on-wheels mode, at choice. The full set is completed with a decals sheet with WWII Turkish, what-if WWII Spanish Republican, what-if Catalan Republican and VBCW Liverpool Free State markings - a lot of dystopic choices!

The new Benach M1935 fast tank is already available for pre-order at our website, while awaiting to have ready the last accessory part - that is being manufactured right now. We'll be able to start shipping orders in one week's time. Don't miss the chance and pre-order yours right now!

Nationalist Cavalry ultimate greens

The 1/72 SCW Nationalist Cavalry set we had announced some time ago is ready at last. Here you have some captions on them:

They'll be brought in foundry in the next few days, so it can be reasonably expected to have the new set ready for release by January.

1938 Grand Prix racing cars

Time for a new venture, I told to myself one day - and this below is the result, after being painted by HeresyBrush as usual:

Those you can see now are Mercedes Benz W154 (silver), Auto Union Typ D (blue) and Alfa Romeo c12/312 (red) 1938 Grand Prix racing cars, that have been manufactured at both 1:72 and 1:100 scales altogether. Those you can see here are their 1:72 versions, BTW.

These new civilian racing cars will be released all together in a single box (1 of each in the 1:72 version, and 2 of each in the 1:100 version), that will also include a decals sheet with numerals in white, black, blue and red, and also as many white metal drivers as cars in the box!

We expect to start releasing them on next January --if not before.

Now carrying 1/56 Rubicon Models plastic tanks

When Minairons Miniatures was born, we committed ourselves to multi-scale production of our projects, but for both financial and technical reasons then stated we would focus mainly on 1:72 and 1:100 scales first, leaving the larger 1:56 for after the company had strengthened enough. After those first two years of life though, things have happened --either inside and outside the company. These ultimately making 1:72 to stand out significantly face to the rest of scales. As a result, some of you have perhaps watched sadly how our 1:56 scale projects began to slow down, as if forgotten in a drawer.

As a way to sort out such timeline break, we have just decided to carry on a permanent basis the products of another newly born brand: this is Rubicon Models. This company is focused on making excellent hard plastic, easy assembly WWII model kits at 1:56 scale, and they've started launching the models below:

All these models are already available for pre-order on our website. Not surprisingly to many of you, our hope is to help by this deal boosting our own SCW and WWII models at this scale.

Some Finnish T-26 tanks

I'm proud to show you a couple of 1/72^nd scale T-26 tanks of Minairons, superbly painted and depicted by Bruce Murray as Finnish captured for one his customer - who also wanted a T-34.

Hope these pictures are useful to someone as a source of inspiration!

Heads!

We have just launched a new kind of accessory, hopefully complimentary to our developing range of SCW 1/72, or 20mm, figures. This consists of a several different sets of white metal small sprues, each one holding 3 separate heads in a particular headgear.

Our first released sets include male heads in either Adrian, Czech or Trubia helmets, and Pasamontaña caps. They're sold in single headgear 3-sprues bags --that is, 9 heads-- at the price of € 2.95 each.

A similar collection of female heads will follow next, while future developments will progressively include all those helmets/caps also used by our growing range of white metal figures.
