Minairons Miniatures: Upcoming 20mm IGC Sadurni D'Anoia Assault Tankette


Minairons Miniatures: We're excited and proud to present you the next SCW model tank, which we shall release in 1:72nd scale pretty soon --during next month, most likely.


It's the IGC Sadurní d'Anoia Assault Tank, a project commissioned in late 1936 by the War Industries Board of Catalonia (IGC) to a small factory in the town of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, well known in Spain before then by their renowned Benach civilian tractors. The factory --by then held by the CNT trade union-- responded to the commission with two prototypes of a turretless tank, one of which can be seen above.


At this scale, the model itself will be about 5cm long and 2.5cm wide. It will be all-resin, except for a hard-plastic Hotchkiss MG. The IGC Sadurní d'Anoia Assault Tank will be sold individually in a small box, similar to that of our Pz. Befehlswagen IB. 


This is not all, as a matter of fact. We'll take advantage of the already designed hull for also making its Universal Carrier and Artillery Tractor versions --this latter, with an attached Schneider 155mm gun. Here you can see a (rather poor) caption of all three versions altogether:
