This is the second set of infantry support weapons we had announced some time ago. Following the release of a Nationalist Valero 81mm mortar and crewmen three days ago (cf. posting below), now we're glad to show you a Stokes-Brandt mortar, also 81mm, along with its Republican crew.
New set retails at €4.95 and is available right now from our website.
Hopefully available soon from our international main stockists too!
Here you have the latest addition to our ever growing 20mm SCW figures range. This time, it's been the turn for a 81mm Valero mortar along with its Nationalist crewmen.
New set retails at €4.95 and is available right now from our website.
Don't forget to stay tuned, for this very same week we're going to release another infantry support set --a 81mm Stokes-Brandt mortar with Republican crew!
Our 1938 Grand Prix next set is progressing fast and easy. We have now completed the making of the first racing car such set is to include, the British ERA Type B racer. We have designed and produced it at 1:72 and 1:100 scales altogether, so as to be able to launch them both in a short lapse of time between them.
As customary in Minairons, these models are willingly easy to assemble while retaining the most possible detail: just one part for hull, four wheels, two shafts and driver. This is what its 1:72 scale version looks like once assembled:
And this is what both scales cars look like side by side (the 1:100th one is already primed too, this is why of their differing shades of colour):
We are proud to announce that 1/72 Trubia-Naval tank will be released Monday 30th May, once its boxes come out from printshop. While looking forward to these, we've already made the tank available for pre-order here.
As you can see above, model itself is quite simple, for it consists of just 4 resin parts for assemblying ease. Each box is to contain 2 of these, besides of 2 different weapons sprues allowing a wide choice --as well as a decals sheet containing SCW Basque markings for up to 3 tanks, and a larger number of Welsh insignia for VBCW!
This new Spanish Civil War 2-tank boxed set retails at EUR 21.95. Don't miss the chance and reserve yours now!
We have now available the Vickers 105mm Gun as a separate model kit including its carriage. Model itself is made mostly of resin, with some white metal parts, as you can see below:
It is already available at Minairons website, and hopefully soon from our main retailers and distributors too.
We've just added to catalogue a superb new piece of scenery at 1/100 scale from Surus Creations. This cowshed (or goatshed, or sheepshed) of Aragonese inspiration can hold two or more 32 x 50mm bases in each room --except for the smallest one. It is suitable for any Spanish Peninsula setting ranging from Renaissance to Modern.
All its sides have openings of some kind from which to watch and shoot.
This new scenery element retails unpainted for EUR 20.50. You can check it at this page of Minairons website.
We have now ready the greens for our two next SCW figure sets --a couple of heavy mortar teams, one for each side. Here below you can watch what looks like the Republican one --these, using a Stokes-Brandt 81mm weapon:
And now some captions on the Nationalist crew of a valero 81mm mortar:
We expect to have them available in about two weeks' time, once the first sets start coming out from foundry.
While still awaiting for the Trubia-Naval tank decals to come, I've taken advantage of the spare time I had for assembling and painting some IGC Sadurnà tanks for my own collection. Not any master pieces actually, but I think they still look pretty nice anyway.
I haven't assembled them just as they were, but have drawn out some pieces form my spare parts box so as to customize all them at some degree. They all have been added mudguards, for instance (either coming from its tractor version, or from a cannibalized T-26 kit from Mirage. Or I have also tried equipping them with headlights in varying positions, as you can see.
Also, I was curious to see if this tank could have been actually improved by a better armament, so I replaced the MG of one for a small gun (a 37mm or so perhaps). Then I realized this would leave barely any room for the 2nd crewman and gun altogether, so I enlargened its internal space rearwards. Well, there is room enough now, but no chances for a third crewman either. Well, at least I had some fun at trying!
