MiniArt has a new heavy towing vehicle in the works a Ya-12 Soviet Artillery Tractor. So far only CAD images are available but those images show a promising model in the works. Look inside for details.

This one has been on the Miniart announcement list for a looong time. Now with the CAD images, that might mean they`re actually putting some effort into this one...

Worth waiting for if they do it right IMO. I'm looking forward to seeing how the woodgrain texture comes out.

Glad to see Mini-art's tractor finally coming out, and with Trumpeter's recent announcements we finally have some decent movers for all that artillery! Excellent!

But one question,...with Mini-art having the underframe and chassis patterned for their GAZ trucks, will we see the BA-3/6/10 family of AFV's in the future?
