New 1/56 scale M1 Armored Car

After some months of silence regarding 1/56 scale, we are proud to show our latest release in such scale: the Interwar M1 Armored Car, a fighting vehicle that served in the US Cavalry in the early 1930s.

As you can see by the picture above, model is mainly resin and consists of 22 parts, 8 of which are white metal. Set is completed by a decals sheet containing several early US markings and US Cavalry badges. Such sheet can be acquired separately, too.

Priced at €24.95, this new model kit can be purchased right now from our website - or you can wait until our main dealers have got stocked from them. Minairons products are distributed in the UK by Plastic Soldier Company, and by Scale Creep Miniatures in North America.

Painted SCW Cavalry Command

Here you have some pictures of a 20mm 20GEF010 Nationalist Cavalry Command sample set, again brilliantly painted by Claudia Zuminich:

Priced at €15.95 as usual, this set is the logical complement to our 20GEF009 Nationalist Cavalry. Here below you can see what both sets look like together:

Painted SCW Nationalist Cavalry

Some eye candy for 20mm SCW aficionados. Please take a look at our 20GEF009 Nationalist Cavalry set, once masterly painted by Claudia Zuminich:

Priced at €15.95 as usual, this set can be complemented with our recently released 20GEF010 Cavalry Command to build a unit the size you need. A painted sample pictures of this latter, following in a couple of days too.

1/72 SCW Nationalist Cavalry Command available

We have now available a new SCW 20mm figures set, the second one devoted to the Nationalist Cavalry. These new figures comprise a complete command group: officer, standard bearer, bugler and horse holder - thus becoming ideal for complementing our first one, that consisted of five horse troopers. Now you just need to gather one 20GEF010 Cavalry Command set and as many 20GEF009 horsemen sets as you need, depending on the unit size you're willing to build.

As you can see in the image above, horses are made of three parts, so as to make the figure slightly lighter, as well as to allow users some variation. Parts do fit quite well IMHO - even a Kingkong-fingered guy as I am will spend no more than a few minutes on each horse! Also, set is complemented by a small paper sheet with a cavalry standard and several banners (for if anyone needs them for building a lancers unit). Here below you can watch the new set of Minairons figures once assembled and primed.

Priced at €15.95 as customary with our figures sets, this new Minairons box is already available at our website - and hopefully soon from our main distributors and retailers too!

1938 Racing Cars, now at 1:100th scale

Just as promised when launching, a few months ago, a brand new series of Grand Prix racing cars at 1:72^nd scale, we have now re-scaled them into 1:100^th too.

As it can be seen on the picture above, set includes 3 different racing cars: Mercedes Benz W154, Auto Union type D and Alfa Romeo c12/312. Just as their 1:72 sisters, each model consists on a single part resin hull, two white metal shafts, four resin wheels and a white metal driver. Set is completed too by a decals sheet with number serials in white, black, blue and red.

Priced at €21.95, this new Minairons set is already available at our website, and hopefully soon from our main distributors and retailers too.

New 1/72 Moroccan Regulars

I'm happy to acknowledge you to have already available a new set of 20mm Spanish Civil War figures: the much feared Tropas Regulares Indígenas de Marruecos (="Moroccan Native Regular Troops"), better known in short as Regulares. Please take a look at the pictures below.

As usual, this new set has been beautifully sculpted by Xan and consists of 15 figures, all different --thirteen askari riflemen and two NCOs, one of which holding a naranjero SMG.

Also customarily, this our new Moroccan Regulars box is priced €15.95, and it will be followed shortly by a second set comprising officers, flag bearer and close support weapons.

Our Moroccan Regulars are fully available at our website right now, but some retailers have already started picking them up too.

1/72 Landesa tractor & Vickers 105mm gun

Here you have a few pictures on one of the closest to deadline projects we've got currently in hands. Some have been taken from my mobile device, so their quality is somewhat poorer than wished --apologies for this:

The concept behind this double kit is identical to that in IGC Sadurní tractor & Schneider howitzer: that is, to make as the main product a boxed set comprising both tractor and gun, besides of a white metal driver (and perhaps, only perhaps some passengers), but also to allow users the chance to get each separately --in bag with heading card, and no extras.

Please observe that some parts of gun have ultimately been cast in metal. Results have been so satisfactory that we'll likely going to improve the same way our Schneider 155mm howitzer --so replacing its current resin wheels by metal ones too.

If everything keeps running as smoothly as so far, this new kit could easily be launched by the end of Summer.
