We've just been sent details of Mig Productions latest releases which apart from the products we have come to expect from this company, contain a number of new products which will truly help to make life just a little easier for the modeler.

Beginning with the Figure Releases, two interesting and diverse subjects in 1/35th scale:

MP35-286: U.S. Marine Officer (11€) This figure formed part of the recently-acquired Think-One-Eighty Studios range. The figure is one of those which will find a place in any diorama within Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo or anywhere where the USMC are currently deployed.

MP35-287: German Casualty (11€) Another of the Company's 'in-house' sculptings this figure portays a German Casualty suitable for any mid/late-war scene.

Next up are new vehicle releases in 1/35th scale in the shape of two Full-Kits:

MP 35-290 - Nun-Nun M325 Command Car IDF (Mid production) with Photo-Etch Brass

MP35-291 - Nun-Nun M325 Command Car Lebanese / IDF (Early Production) with Photo-Etch Brass (87€)

Apart from the subject itself, perhaps the real innovation is demonstrated with the Photo-Etch which, like the previous kit, requires NO cutting from it's fret. Instead, the PE comes attached to an adhesive backing - without connectors! As many tiny brass parts are easily bent, damaged or otherwise destroyed in the removal process, this system ensures that the sheet can be used without 'nervousness'!

Finally, Mig Productions have been gradually expanding their range of washes etc. for actually finishing the model. The company have announced some extremely interesting new product lines in the 'finishing department':

P249 - Pigment Fixer This liquid has been designed for modellers who desire more 'bonding' of the Pigments they apply to their models, dioramas and vignettes. This liquid can be added to the model first by brush before applying the pigments. It can also be mixed with the pigments prior to being brushed onto the model

New Washes Range:

As with the filters the modeler will no longer need to question the paint-to-thinner ratio. Now bottles of pre-mixed washes for numerous types of finishes are available. Here are the first three:

P220 Dark Wash (5.50€)
For vehicles containing an allied green, panzer grey, German camouflage and most other dark colours.

P221 Brown Wash (5.50€)
For vehicles with a navy blue, light blue, dark yellow and light color camouflages.

P222 Neutral Wash (5.50€)
For vehicles with a light sand, red primer, light grey or winter camouflages.

Finally, something that has been needed to be released with a Specific modeling application:

ABT115 Liquid Mask (5.50€)
This Liquid Mask has been designed to be durable yet easy to peel from the model without damaging the paint. This product can be used to help create a number of finishing effects with your weathering, aid in the creation of complex camouflages, protect surfaces from overspray and yield sharp edges on vehicle identification markings.

As always, my thanks to Mig Jiménez and the team at Mig Productions for the images and details for this report.
