As well as their usual monthly release schedule, this month MiniArt have also published their 2024 catalogue. This includes two projects in particular which I’m sure will delight readers of this magazine. First, we have the initial releases in what I’m sure will be an extensive series of kits from the Ukrainian manufacturer. M3 Stuart Initial Production will be released both with (ref. 35401) and without (ref. 35425). The M3 was widely used by the US and Allied armies in most of the major theatres of World War II and, I have no doubt, this will prove one of MiniArt’s most popular releases. There will also be a separate release of a U.S. Tank Repair Crew with Continental W-670 Engine (ref. 35461 ). The catalogue also confirms the imminent release of two kits of the Ukrainian BTR-4E. This domestically designed and produced AFV is one of the most potent weapons in the arsenal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and once again, I’m sure MiniArt are on to a winner with this one. The two versions announced so far are: BTR-4E ‘Bucephalus’ APC Early Prod. Interior kit (ref. 37100) and Ukrainian BTR-4E Late Prod. Interior kit (ref. 37105). Watch this space for more news on these exciting kits as it becomes available. You can download the full MiniArt 2024 catalogue from their website www.miniart-models.com.
