1:56 Chevrolet 1.5 ton Truck is back!

Yes the 1:56^th 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.

Chevy'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 - apologies for the slight inconvenience! Meanwhile, we're planning to set a store front in Wargaming3D shortly.

Also, we are already working out the same with another well-known 1:56 model kit - the Henschel Type 33 heavy truck.

WSS Jaen I.R. flags and guide

Our War of Spanish Succession flags ranges at 1:100^th, 1:72^nd and 1:56^th 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.

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 1:144^th 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.

New 1:100 Sd.Kfz. 8 tractor

We are proud to share a new WWII model kit in 1:100^th scale, the German Sd.Kfz. 8 tractor. Once again, this one is a DLP 3D printed model kit consisting of just two parts: main body and optional tarpaulin. This new product is born thanks to patronage via Patreon with the Ukrainian designer Panzer Printer.

Just a latest hour wish to all our kind followers and customers, for a prosperous and happy New Year!

1:144 Henschel Hs-123 dive bomber

Minairons miniatures' 1/144 scale SCW aircraft range keeps growing at a steady pace: this week it has seen the addition of Henschel Hs-123 (commonly nicknamed 'Angelito' in Spain). Operated by Germany, China and Spain, this robust, durable and resistant to severe weather biplane dive bomber saw continued front-line service until 1944.

Just as previous models in this range, our Henschel Hs-123 comes to life thanks to the co-operation with Plane Printer designer via Patreon. It retails in box as a single piece DLP 3D-printed miniature, so requiring no assembly at all. Box reverse includes a comprehensive painting guideline.

This is probably going to be our last announcement before Christmas weekend, so let me take advantage of this thread for wishing to you all a best Christmas Day. Enjoy it!

Cannone da 105/28, now for 15mm

I'm happy to show you our latest Spanish Civil War product at 1/100 scale: the Ansaldo Cannone da 105/28, widely used by Italy in WW2 and SCW.

Unlike its 1/72 scale counterpart, which is white metal cast in several parts to be assembled, this new cannon is DLP 3D-printed as a single piece, so requiring no assembly at all.

1:144 Hawker-Hispano 'Fury' fighter

I'm pleased to show our latest 1:144^th scale Spanish Civil War aircraft, the Hawker-Hispano 'Fury' (perhaps better known as Spanish Fury). This elegant biplane won the 1935 contest to replace Nieuport 52 as the main fighter of Spain. However, the Civil War early outbreak prevented the Republican Air Force to have enough of them available.

Just as previous models in this range, our Hawker Hispano is born thanks to the co-operation with Plane Printer designer through Patreon. It retails in box as a single piece DLP 3D-printed miniature, so requiring no assembly at all. Box reverse includes a thotoughful painting schema.

1:144 Heinkel He-112 fighter

I'm delighted to present our latest 1:144^th scale Spanish Civil War aircraft --the ill-known Heinkel He-112, main competitor to Messerschmitt Bf-109 for the 1933 Luftwaffe fighter contract. Despite losing the contest, small numbers of it were nonetheless used by Germany for a short time and several more were acquired by Spain, Hungary and Romania. Japan also purchased and used about a dozen He-112s before giving priority to the Mitsubishi A6M 'Zero'.

Just as previous models in this range, our He-112 is born thanks to the co-operation with Plane Printer designer through Patreon. It retails in box as a single piece DLP 3D-printed miniature, so requiring no assembly at all. Box reverse includes a painting schema and markings guide.

It is already available at Minairons' website. Hope you like it!
