Miniart of Ukraine have scooped numerous awards for their plastic Valentine Mk III and IV kits. Winning three medals from various online and paper magazines.
Following the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg Miniart have been awarded two medals for their British Infantry Mk III Tank Valentine Mk II from online Magazine Mojoon and Model Fan Magazine.

The Eastern European firm have also now won another medal for their Valentine tanks, this time from Russian Magazine M-Hobby, awarded for their Valentine Mk IV with red army crew.

Let's hope that the accolades serve to encourage Miniart to continue to expand their Allied line, and bring us more interesting British subjects in the future in addition to the new Valentine variants currently in the pipeline.

Full details are available on the Miniart Website News section.

Well, it deserves in my opinion and not just for the Valentine series. What I like of Miniart is the fact that its kits are accurate, very nice and crisp but not too expensive Its figure set, in my opinion are the best made in plastic on the market Furthermore is company which has a lot of diorama items and quite a lot of delicios subjects such as the Pk 42 russian kitchen field. As a russian armour fan, I hope it will produce in 35 scale a T35 a Gaz 67 (I wonder why Tamiya has stopped to produce it) and (why not?) a T 34 Thanks for the article Cheers

Miniart also got an award for one of their scenic diorama items also. With regards to the GAZ, they do already do a Russian Command Car with crew (I'm not a car expert, and the box doesn't indicate what model this is. Looks like a GAZ to me but I may be wrong), very similar to Tamiya's car with the ICM figures. I hadn't realised Tamiya had stopped the run of their GAZ. I've seen it around in shops. Perhaps they are preparing for a new tooling, I don't know.
