We've just been sent an advance image of a future release from Miniman Factory
The next release from Miniman Factory will be an unusual subject (for a model manufacturer) but a VERY commonly-seen vehicle in archive photos and newreels:

UAZ - 452 Russian Minivan.

More details to follow shortly...

Very interesting release! Maybe more of use in dios and such than stand alone, but I welcome its availability. Now, if we can only get some contemporary 1/35 scale vehicles for our modern armour dios... Cheers, Ian

The UAZ-452 is a prime Cold War soft skin.....so many uses. I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a cargo truck version eventually as well. That van would be perfect for a little urban diorama with the van and a Soviet T-55.....perhaps a little fender bender?

It is on my list, I am going to get one of these. It better not be £100 though.

Oh the East Berlin cold war diorama possibilities!!! Now if they would just release that Gama Goat they were rumored to be making the world would be complete!

Jim! Thats the only why the Gama Goat not issued yet ... I'm affraid to complete the world

This van still used as military ambulance with Russian Army. Oh the possibilities of making a powerful dio...

Endless possibilities here. Prague 1968, Soviet ambulance, Soviet militija van, possibly also official vehicles from other WP nations... Good news therefore!

OMG a Gamma Goat could a GOER be far behind. The diorama possibilities are endless with the theme of broken down Gamma Goats. A Russian van is kind of neat but won't be in my workshop. Tom
