The third of the reports on MiniArt''s release plans for 2007 has just been posted. We can expect some VERY interesting material from them in the course of 2007 with a mix of Soviet, German, U.S. and British vehicles being the order of the day. The full story can be seen:

I can just picture the bods at Dragon and Trumpeter having sleepless nights. MiniArt have appeared in the rearview mirror, and the image is getting bigger....

Cheers

Miniart are really are edging towards centre stage aren't they? The Bantams complete with crews will be must buys for me but the one I’m really looking forward to is 35045 - SOVIET GUN ZiS-3 with HORSES. I like the idea of putting it in a diorama passing a KO’d King tiger :-)

Surely there must be non-staff members who have an opinion, even disagree?
Otherwise we will soon be duped 'MiniRama'... :-) :-) .

Ok Henk, I'll chime in! I'm sure there will be many, many happy souls to see the SU-76 added to the stable of their T-70 line.

Meh, nothing there that really excites me, now if they had done a more recent artillery tractor, like an AT-S or ATS-59...
Wonder if the Bantam crews will be released later as seperate items.

Sounds very interesting.

The YA-12 is definently good news and an unusual subject. I am looking forward to that one.
