The turret MG Plug and correct towing hooks will also save time for all T-55 fans.

MP 48196 - U.S. Studebaker (GMC?) Closed Cab (17.50 Eur)

This conversion, designed for the Tamiya kit, allows modelers to quickly construct the more common closed cab model. The closed cab model was also produced and used by other countries such as Russia.

A photo-etch set containing fine details such as a windshield frame and one piece grill is also enclosed. An interior is incorporated containing a photo-etched dashboard.

From Armor releases, the more usual of the company's range in the form of finishing materials:

P417 - Rainmarks (9.50 Eur)

After numerous questions regarding the application of Rainmarks Mig Productions is finally offering a product that allows modelers of all skill levels to easily apply this subtle but important weathering effect. Rainmarks represent fine matt streaks of dust and grit that have been washed down the sides of a vehicle from rain. Successive layers of Rainmarks can also be applied over each other as washes giving a subtle authentic layer of matt dust onto any surface perfect for the dry application of pigments.

Two more of the company's Abteilung Oil Shades have been announced:

ABT165 - Faded UN White

This very light grey is really good for fading on all types of vehicles with white finishes. Faded UN White will also help give depth to winter camouflages. This tone is also ideal for adding pin washes into panels on vehicles and structures containing dark finishes.

ABT170 - German Grey Highlight

Whether you are dry-brushing, applying color modulation or blending, this attractive light blue-grey tone is ideal for highlighting details and fading on early German and all other types of grey vehicles. German Grey Highlight will also give a cold appearance when blended onto winter camouflages and other details on cold clement dioramas.

Finally, continuing with the SF theme that began a few months ago:

F 35652 - 1/35th Hover Tank (52.00 Eur)

Resembling and ancient arthropod this easily assembled model contains six movable legs allowing the modeller to adjust it onto any diorama. The legs can also be easily folded for flight. Our full resin kit includes photo-etched grills and authentic tubing making it another impressive looking combat vehicle. The Hover Tank can be painted or detailed in any manner on whichever battleground you choose here over earth or even another planet. The three guns can also be positioned and attached in any manner the modeller chooses. This Hover Tank can be placed in dioramas with real tanks creating original scenes. Your imagination is the limit.

As always, our thanks to Adam of Mig Productions for the Updates!

The T-54,55,62 Fuel line set is very useful and innovative. Granted these could be made easily by the modeler, but these little inexpensive sets make life that bit easier, and ive always struggled to accurately replicate the pipe connectors.

I'm sorry. Studebaker US 6 have very different chassis, fuel tank. Spare wheel is in right side and fuel tank in left. Miloslav

Hello Thank you for the encouraging words regarding the new releases. Dear Miloslav, you apper to be correct. I just did some extra research and it appears as though we simply overlooked this after we received it for the master maker. We will discuss changes Monday. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Have a good weekend all of you. Sincerely Adam Wilder MIG Productions staff

Oh, now they decide to do the connectors! I would certainly have purchased them at the time, but oh well. Maybe if I do another one.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm looking forward to the Rainwashes weathering product. Every AFV finishing item I've purchased from MiG Productions so far has really been fun to use, consistent results and handy. I think I'll have fun using that new one too.
