This can be used over a long time period.........maybe towed by those two Meng Pickups or in the bed of that Diopark dumptruck...hmm, the wheels are spinning.

in case you need more concrete for your project, CustomFactory has released a conversion set for ICM's Kamaz 4310



On a side note, PlusModel makes a very similar set :

Wow, that customer factory mixer.....Plus model is too hard to tract down and expensive, the Miniart one will be widely available and cheaper.

Those mixers where used well into the 80s often "second hand". The Wheelbarrow would aquire a rubber wheel somewhere in the 60s but the rest remains the same as well into the 80s.

Mini Art and Master Box are fast becoming my favorite two companies. That mixer will go great with Preiser's 1/35 Civilian Workers or their Women Digging in Rubble.

Already some neat dio ideas: WWII or postwar scene with the Thunder Case tractor/loader, soldiers making improvised anti - tank obstacles, or a Stug crew making some concrete armour.

It's funny, well done... , but I'm afraid you will need plastic cement to mix mortar or concrete on it... (cement is just one of the ingredients, not the final mixing)

Awsome every day equipment you would see all over. Mlitary or civilian can go a long way. Put me down for at least one. Great that Miniart listens and puts out kits like this.
