Minairons Miniatures is delighted to present their latest 1:72nd scale Spanish Civil War AFV - none other than the ubiquitous Bilbao Armored Car. Although initially intended to perform as an anti-riot media for the Guardia de Asaltopolice, the 1936 military uprising against the Republic forced them to press these vehicles into field service as a fighting vehicle, thus filling the Republican armor gap until the first Russian tanks were delivered.
This new model has been manufactured thanks to a friendly partnership agreement with Barcino Miniatures. This is a pretty small, one-man Catalan company led by Oscar Alcalde, a passionate Spanish Civil War gamer who endeavored to produce a nice range of white-metal figures some time ago; thanks to such a partnership, he's got to seriously consider relaunching that range - and we'd gladly support him at doing so.
The model itself is made of polyurethane resin (PUR), and consists of just eight parts. Each kit comes individually in an auto-wrap bag with header card, also containing a flagsheet with three textured Republican flags, that have been designed by Flags of War for us.
The whole set is to retail on our website at €9.95 EUR. However, while our website - www.minairons.eu - keeps going out of order (it ceased to work on Friday), our models can be purchased on eBay through this link. Once again, apologies for the inconveniences this might represent.
