MiniArt has a new soft skin model in the works and this time it is a Mercedes-Benz 1500S GERMAN 1,5t CARGO TRUCK.
MiniArt keeps up the pace with another soft skin vehicle in the works and this time around it’s the Mercedes-Benz 1500S GERMAN 1,5t CARGO TRUCK however this one has a bonus included which while no figure are indicated it does have two duplicate sprues of cargo that will have a 101 uses for all models rather than just this one. One big complaint often voiced in our forums is the number of cargo loads that are moulded as a single piece removing the ability of the modeller to show a unique load, well this offering is all individual parts featuring barrels in two sizes, boxes, a large assortment of bottles and what I believe is a milk churn. The bottles would have been a lot better if moulded in clear plastic rather than the usual grey plastic used by MiniArt but they I am sure can be made to look right with careful painting. The model also features a detailed engine and chassis.

Thanks, Darren! The cargo is a re-release of older sprues from what I can see, but this is another delight for fans of soft skins like me.

The cargo set, if you want to call it old, is from earlier this year, or last year! An oldie but still a goodie!

Well... This is freakin' awesome... A new hope rises to finally (after this horrible Italeri toy in the past) see a well made MB L3000, too... Without any doubt: Miniart is one of the greatest 1/35 military stuff manufacturers nowadays!

Im in a soft skin kind of mood at the moment as well ... Im building nboth Italeri and Tamiya´s opel blitz as well as ICMs Henschell. This is just candy. Would definately consider this as well. Thanks for the images Darren.
