Hi Guys, been using Scale Hobbyist for nearly a year. They pretty much have everything. Extremely satisfied

Just looked the website and they have a total of 4 Miniart kits. Not very comprehensive.

Huh? I count 188 MiniArt products in 1/35 scale, 185 are WWII, 48 figure sets. Here's the Scale Figure Categories Page. Of course, some items may be out of stock, or possibly discontinued, but they reveal this information right up front. You're looking for something very specific, I gather?
You can always e-mail them regarding products here: [email protected] — Expect a very quick response.

I had a feeling and I believe those are MiniArt's most recent releases, so give them a little time. I recently e-mailed [email protected] regarding their (35571) 'Wine Bottles and Wooden Crates' set. I received a very speedy reply informing me they didn't have that set in yet. The (35573) 'Milk Bottle and Wooden Crates' set is available; the (35575) 'Cognac and Wooden Crates' set is on backorder. HTH.🍷🍾

Hi there Jerry. Aside from ebay I shop at lots-of-models and they ship everything super fast. No issues so far. I just completed my last order for my project. Now it's all about putting it together. Good luck on your search my friend.

Jerry, I use Sprue Bros. a lot. They did have the MiniArt Tram kit and an extra set of the seated figs. to go with. I used Roll Models for the first time. I'm still waiting for my order to arrive. I THINK they take your order then the source it from whoever has it. They get good reviews, just slow. The LHS, Panther Hobbies, used Stevens International a lot before they closed. I checked their website before posting this. They had a lot of MiniArt but unfortunately they were out of stock of the Champagne & Crates for $25. I'm looking for that set too. Popular item I guess.
Good Luck on you quest !

Thanks guys. Lots of great tips. I use Spruebros a lot but no joy this time. Very few Miniart kits that aren't vehicles and figs. I will keep my ears open to your suggestions here.

Tower Hobbies sells Miniart.
Tower Hobbies brand list
Not the biggest selection but they have the milk bottles and crockery sets. They run free shipping specials every so often...one of which is going on today. You can also get $15 off a $50 purchase with coupon code 01A15.
They have a couple Master Box items in stock with many more showing a late February availability.
I've used them several times now and each time I had my package within a couple days and without any issues.
