Hi, I just stumbled upon this new company called Minairons Miniatures! The company's intention is to release a whole range of 20mm plastic Spanish Civil War vehicles as you can see in the pictures. The first model kit they will release is the infamous Panzer IA which saw actions during the SCW where it was nicknamed "Negrillo" (Blackie), this kit would allow world war two players to field these tanks as party of their early war Panzer battalions as these lighly armoured and armed vehicles formed the bulk of the Panzer forces. It's a nice change as other companies prefer to release common vehicles such as Sherman and Tiger tanks while the market is already flooded with those but lack early armour and cheap trucks and other softskins!
As see can see from the design drawings, the tank look great and hopefully he will be retailled at a reasonable price! This particular model will be released in mid-october of this very year!
Here you can see a picture of actual tank, the lay out seems similar to the ones Armourfast and Plastic Soldier Company use and will be very easy to assemble. I can't say the detail is good as I haven't seen any better pictures but if they are this set will be a winner!

I f only they would upscale it to 28mm I would buy a couple if reasonably priced, or more importantly if they had a 28mm T-26 kit I would get several.

They are tempted by releasing them in 1/56 if the market is large enough. So stay tuned and maybe you will be able to pick some up.
Cheers
