New 48th Scale Armor coming in January 2012! Miliminitots
Starting in January we will finally be entering into the 48th scale Armor/AFV/Softskin line with quite a few surprises! Here are the first few that will be coming out in the first Quarter.

Panther D Mid-Production conversion for Tamiya's Panther G - Late-January 2012
Panther A Mid-Production with Zimmerit surfaces for Tamiya's Panther G- Mid-February 2012
WC-56 Staff Car Complete Resin Kit- March 2012
M-36 B-2 Tank Destroyer Conversion for Tamiya's M-10- To be announced

To start off this line alittle sooner we are going to bring back the old ID Mercedes L3000S 3 ton Truck kit and something totally new, A Firefly Mk.IC Hybrid Conversion in December.

Great news for all those interested in 48th scale!

But one off topic question that was bugging me ever since I saw most of the Miliminis M-113 masters on sale on eBay. Are you quitting the M-113 platform?

Hi Mario, I have no relation to the company just passing things through the grapevine. Apparently now Minimalis is only 1/35 scale and the 1/48 stuff is going back to be TOTS48.com again.

Thanks for the announcement Greg but due to Ron's illness, I'll be opening the line up myself on TOTS48. Those are just a few to come. With the Panthers ready for remolding, I've taken a sidetrip back to my old "Roots". That is, I'm on another Sherman binge. The Firefly turret is an early 43-based Low-Bustle without a Pistol Port and another Firefly turret which is a late 43 type. Also on my workbench is a Mk.IC Hybrid, A Baldwin M4 Hull, M4A4 conversion and my new M4A2 Big Hatch "IWO JIMA" conversion. The Mercedes kit is being reworked alittle and some accessories will be added to it. The WC-56 is also just about done. Lots more to come in 2012!

The M-113 masters have been sold to CMS designs but the overall M-113 program in 35th is on hold right now until, hopefully, Ron gets back on his feet again.
