I love Miniart kits, so much detail! The above kit is worth every penny. Reminds me of ICM kits, nice.

Check out ICM site. They have excellent Opel Blitz trucks!!

Cute pix of the T-70
I have to admit, these are the best Miniart figures I have worked with yet. This little T-70 is soooo cute !! lol

You need to use a very, very sharp knife when cutting the links off the sprues or they will break !

The figures.

Tracks done. Turret on.Primed with Gun Metal black


Fenders on.
PS- I'm just adding parts to this little tank. I got some tiny , tiny PE parts to put on.

ICM has a similar kit on the market for the 76mm Anti-Tank Gun , limber + horses.
The ICM kit I am talking about includes:
57mm AT Gun + crew 3 figures
Limber + driver figure
2 Horses + handler figure
German Luchs tank + injured German Crew
** pretty kool kit**

Hi all !! This post is all over the place so I must apologize !! I am so sorry.
Anyway, I picked up this older 2004 1/35 Dragon Nashorn kit yesterday. So you will see it on here somewhere lol!
The kit is nothing special, all plastic no PE...separate track links that need to be cleaned but anything is better than vinyl.
The review shows massive amounts of errors in the instructions lol !!
Ok, look at the box art for a sec, see that guy on the horse & the guy he's handing stuff too? Well, those 2 guys are included in Dragons other kit, a Hummel kit. The same pose on this box art as the hummel box art. The guy inside is made of resin while the guy + the horse is plastic. The Hummel kit is also a good kit, much better then this older Nashorn with updated parts & metal barrel, PE etc...

Armorama does not have a review Of this kit so here's a review of it from PMMS.

This is the Hummel kit that contains the 2 figures as Nashorn boxart + a horsey !
