MiniArt are poised once again to deliver new and interesting subjects for the AFV modeler looking for the unusual and the out of the ordinary.
Kit No. 35039 from MiniArt (German Artillery Tractor T-70(r) and 7,62cm FK 288(r) w/CREW) is part of clever one - two punch which will also see the T-70M delivered as its own kit in the very near future.

Coming with over 500 parts, plus photoetch it is a kit that offers an extremely comprehensive build up with 5 crew, the limber, artillery piece and tractor.

Miniart is on to a winner here! It's good sense to reuse the T70 moulds, and I'm wondering if the same kit can be reissued with Soviet markings & crew for a double-dip? (I don't know enough about Red Army artillery...) Tom

I agree, A Very interesting kit with everything included. I especially like the figures, lots of uses for them. milvehfan.

Loving this! Great idea MiniArt

I have to say that for bang for the buck, MiniArt has delivered several times in recent history. It's a great concept and I hope others follow suit.

Talk about a diorama in a box! Kudos to our friends in the Ukraine.

hi the figures have been out for a long time. I think the limber is possibly the only new item set. That's not to take anything away from Miniart, they do some nice stuff. I do wonder if the open top includes any sort of interior detail. If not that's going to cause some criticism of the set when its reviewed I'm sure. Alan

Seems my photo in the above post doesn't want to appear, or appears sometimes not others. It's direct from Miniart site, so I've copied it to Kitmaker network and should now work. This is the set I'm referring to Alan

So are MA actually ready to release this kit? It's been on their "Coming Soon" list for an age now... along with those British tank riders they announced back in June '09

The T-70 kit has been around the longest and doesn't look like it's been re-tooled; and the limber is one of their latest state-of-the-art mouldings. Pity there will be a discrepancy in detail quality between the two. The figures are quite nice and are versatile - infantry at rest, etc.
