1:144 Polikarpov I-16 fighter

We're expanding our range of 1:144^th scale Spanish Civil War aircraft as fast as possible, this week with a real must for any respectable Republican force - the legendary Polikarpov I-16 fighter (nicknamed 'Mosca' by the Republicans and 'Rata' by the Nationalists). This was the first operational low-wing cantilever monoplane fighter with retractable landing gear, so introducing a revolution in fighter aircraft design.

Model kit itself is sold in box as a single piece DLP 3D-printed model, so requiring no assembly at all. It is inclusive of a pilot bust seated in cockpit.

This new model is born thanks to the co-operation with Plane Printer designer through Patreon, as already explained before.

1:72 Barbastro tank released

It's finally available our latest announced Spanish Civil War AFV model in 1:72^nd scale - the Barbastro tank, a handcrafted behemoth locally built in the Aragonese town where the thing takes its name from.

Model kit itself consists of just 8 parts, cast mainly in high quality resin - hull, tracks and turret along with its hatches, besides of a couple of white metal Hotchkiss MGs.

As said, this new addition to range is already available at Minairons website. Hope you like it!

1:144 Heinkel He-51 fighter

As already announced a few weeks ago, we're expanding rapidly our 1:144^th scale SCW aircraft range, thanks to our patronage on Plane Printer designer through Patreon. Our latest model in this range is Heinkel He-51, supplied to Spanish Nationalists by Nazi Germany at the very start of SCW.

Aircraft itself is sold in box as a single piece DLP 3D-printed model, so requiring no assembly. Model design is inclusive of a pilot bust seated in cockpit.

Besides of the ultimate 1:144^th model itself, our Heinkel He-51 website page website also shows a direct link to Plane Printer’s own 1:200^th scale product page on Patreon, for if someone wants to have it printed by him(her)self.

1:72 Barbastro tank preview

I'm excited to share with you a sample of what's going to be our next Spanish Civil War 1:72^nd scale AFV - the obscure, massive Barbastro tank!

Despite its larger than average size for a lightly armed tank, model kit is consisting of just six main parts, so standing still as a fast assembly one. Model is complete now, only awaiting before release a decision about weaponry to be taken.

The upcoming release of this new model will serve us to celebrate Minairons 10^th Anniversary, that happens to be this very Summer! A huge thank you to everyone who has placed their trust in us. We hope to keep deserving that trust.

Bugatti type 59 racer, now in 1:72

Just as announced some weeks ago, the 1:72^nd scale version of Bugatti type 59 vintage racer is available for purchase now.

Unlike its 1:100^th scale sister, which is 3D-printed in one single piece, this larger version is resin cast and consists of just five parts --main hull and four wheels, besides of a white metal driver.

Our complete 1:72^nd scale racing cars range can be checked on this page of Minairons website.

More Spanish naval flags

We've just released three new sets of Age of Sail 1:600^th scale naval ensigns that span for over three centuries of Spain's history: those of 17^th century merchants, 18^th century East Indies and 19^th century Navy. After these mentioned additions, our collection is now inclusive of seven different flag sheets solely from Spain - for a total of nearly 60 sheets belonging to a growing selection of seafaring nations, from late 16^th century to Napoleon's times!

If curious, please check our current naval flags listing.

1:100 Bugatti type 59 racer

I'm glad to share our latest 1:100 scale Grand Prix racer release - that of the iconic Bugatti type 59 French racing car. This is our first DLP 3D-printed model in this range, so it's produced in one single piece - no assembly required, then. It can be already purchased from Minairons miniatures website.

Here below you have a painted sample from my own collection (not my best photo taking job, admittedly):

Its 1:72 scale version is nearly ready, too. Release is scheduled for within this month of July.

WSS Savoy I.R. flags and guide

Our War of Spanish Succession infantry flag set ranges keep expanding at a steady pace - at all scales altogether. This time, we've added to collection the flags of a further Two Crowns' Spanish unit: Savoy I.R., another senior regiment in the Spanish Army of that time.

Along with the individual Savoy I.R. sheets in 1:100^th, 1:72^nd and 1:56^th that you can see in the photo above, we've also released a 3-unit flag sheet in 1:144^th scale too, that contains the colours of Lombardy, Seas of Naples and Savoy Infantry Regiments.

Along with the flags, I've also released a PDF guide on the subject for free download, as usual.
