Two interesting bits to report on today:

Miniart 1:35th scale Soviet Heavy Infantry Wepaons And Equipment (Kit number 35170) (http://militarymodels.co.nz/2013/08/04/and-then-new-from-miniart-soviet-heavy-infantry-wepaons-and-equipment/)

Wikipedia PTRD/PTRD-41 Anti-Tank Rifle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTRD)


The PTRD/PTRD-41 Anti-Tank Rifle champbered for the 14.5X114mm cartridge looks very nice and has a lot of potential for other projects that are not historical in nature.  All of that bare metal is just begging for a special telescopic sight of some kind or maybe a rail system with several bells and whistles mounted on it. 

Maybe we will see some other anti-tank rifles such as the Solothurn S-18/1000 20mm ATR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solothurn_S-18/1000) some day soon in a kit like this.  We can only hope :)


MiniArt has also released another interesting figure set under kit number 35094, 1:35th scale Soviet Naval Troops (Special Edition) (http://militarymodels.co.nz/2013/07/31/new-from-miniart-soviet-naval-troops-special-edition/)

Statement from Miniart:
Dear Modelers and Customers, as you may know our country have faced many problems this year.

Right now MiniArt is in reorganization period but it's planned to restart all activities in nearest future. We are already preparing new models for release and soon will announce what these models are.
We would like to thank all of you for the concern and support in these difficult and full of changes time for our company.

I've been wondering about this happening with some of the Ukrainian and Russian manufacturers.  I wonder long before sanctions affect supplies of A-Model kits, for example?

A-Model is also a Kiev based company.

Sudeten gambit? Seriously? Christ, would people please stop trying to make historical
events fit current events. History does NOT repeat and the continual attempts
to force fit the current and the past just makes the situation more confusing.
Yes, learn from the past, but don't use it as the lens through which one views the present.

Folks, a warning:  I will not tolerate a full blown discussion regarding the rights/wrongs of the Ukrainian Crisis.  I only reposted the above note from MiniArt so as to pass on information that may affect your modelling.  It was not an invitation to debate.

Title: Re: MiniArt Plastic Model Kits
Post by: Old Wombat on March 08, 2016, 12:37:40 PM
A list of the features you get for those parts (from the MiniArt site);

HIGHLY DETAILED MODEL
WORKABLE TRACKS
WORKABLE TORSION BARS
FULLY DETAILED FIGHTING COMPARTMENT INTERIOR
V-44 ENGINE INCLUDED

A lot of those parts will be the individual track links. ;)
Title: Re: MiniArt Plastic Model Kits
Post by: Jacques Deguerre on March 09, 2016, 10:39:06 AM
All those features are great if you have the time and interest to devote to the subject. I'm at a place in life where I need well engineered and relatively simple kits (say like current Tamiya armor) rather than "each subassembly is a full model kit by itself". The attention to and level of detail in these T44 kits is amazing but it also seems overwhelming to me in my present place in life.

I still want one though.... ;)
Title: Re: MiniArt Plastic Model Kits

I looked at the instruction booklet for the first version of the T-44 kit and it looks like you can build it without the interior details. The only drawback is that the hull is made up of flat plates. You would probably need one of the of the interior bulkheads to firm up the lower hull. So it's not Tamiya level simplicity but it also isn't Bronco level, where you have to assemble tiny PE and plastic parts that are critical to the construction and stability of the model.

I wish more companies would release their armour with interiors either as part of the kit or as a separate boxing, as Meng did with one of their Bradleys, which gives builders an optional made-to-measure detail set which is much cheaper than most resin upgrades.

I'm thinking a T-54-1 would look very good in German marking as part of a '46/'47 scenario.  Once could also model the one in the Red Gambit series.

I was thinking nearly the same thing with a T54/55 hull and a modified M41 the turret, maybe throw on some zimmerit. And if I we're really ambitious, I could try German running gear.

I wouldn't be in a rush to buy it, one of the local IPMS guys is building it for an IPMS Journal
review, he's a very experienced armour modeller, and he feels the extreme parts count (56 sprues)
is pointless overkill. The full interior being nice and very well moulded/detailed but hidden when
the kit is finished. He did say that a simpler, lower priced, version of the kit is to be released.

Perhaps a diorama of just the upper portion above the waves?  That would be a lot easier to scratch build.

There were versions with a partially and fully enclosed glazed canopy as well - I'm sure Miniart will release them if not included in the first release.

The fully enclosed cockpit V2 and V3 types would require a completely different fuselage.

V2

(http://www.aviastar.org/foto/gallery/flettner/flettner_kolibri_3.jpg)
V3

The V12 originally had a glazed lower fwd fuselage, the panels were removed at a later date.

The US captured and tested the V23 which had a partially fabric faired cockpit area, note the
difference in the horizontal tail when compared to the V21 represented in the MiniArt kit.

V23

V21

The kügel would not work for Dakar or Baja, the lack of suspension makes it a non-starter.
You’d go nowhere fast in in even the mildest terrain, in loose sand it’d just dig itself a hole.
The only place it’d somewhat function would be on a dry lake bed, flat hardpan, or wet, compacted
sand. Otherwise, fuggedaboudit.

So I'm looking at the wheels in the frame use for exploding the mines and I thought they looked really familiar.  Then it came to me, a tool I used to 'dress' grinding stones when they got too grooved or gouged (I'm a steel fabricator by trade), the wheels are exactly like that ----

The box art shows one of the failings of this design. The narrow width means that as soon as the right "training wheel" falls into that water filled ditch, it's going to keel over on that side, crush the wheel supports on that side or at least twist in that direction. It looks like turns are made by locking the training wheel on the turn side (rather than slitting the main tread and locking one tread of the other to turn), so damaging a wheel would be bad news.

Jeff - I'll look at my kit, but I think it would be possible to just build the exterior as a "tank" and use the interior assemblies (or most of them) as a circular motorcycle. The Modelling News build article  (http://www.themodellingnews.com/2018/11/in-box-construction-guide-pt-i-miniarts.html#more) would suggest this is possible.

So not so much this:

but this:

(https://img1.grunge.com/img/gallery/strange-vehicles-you-wont-catch-people-driving/1932-dynasphere-1485872323.jpg)

It would still need an exterior wheel or track.

One of the silliest concepts ever.  :-\  ;D

The ramjet propulsion cracks me up, how fast would the wings have to rotate
to enable the ramjets to function properly? Plus they'd pretty much be on or
off, slowing down for a landing would be interesting.

 ;D
Title: Re: MiniArt Plastic Model Kits
Post by: Frank3k on May 19, 2019, 12:26:55 AM
Jon - they were supposed to use Walter rockets or an engine of some sort to spin the wings fast enough to ignite the ram jets. I guess they could adjust the thrust by adjusting the fuel flow, but that sounds iffy.

What would happen if one of the wings gets hit by a .50 cal while in flight? Or a bird hit?
Title: Re: MiniArt Plastic Model Kits

Reminiscent of those plate spinning skits from the old timey television variety shows except with wings and fire :)
Title: Re: MiniArt Plastic Model Kits
Post by: kitnut617 on May 19, 2019, 02:43:50 AM
From what I've read recently about ram jets, even though they can be fired up around 200mph, there's virtually no thrust. To get any sort of decent thrust it has to be going at Mach 3. Apart from that the prop/rotor wouldn't work very efficiently at supersonic speeds. Also the centrifugal forces the rotating prop/rotor would be under, I don't think there's materials nowadays that could be strong enough, let alone a country that didn't have any strategic materials they could get their hands on at the time (from what I've been reading about German jet engines of the time).

But then I'm like Jon, I just don't like all this Luft'46 stuff.
Title: Re: MiniArt Plastic Model Kits
Post by: jcf on May 19, 2019, 09:43:43 AM
Balancing the rotating wing would be critical, and keeping
it in balance would be difficult, never mind if one of the jets
flamed out.

I think people forget that Hitler's moustache was, actually, quite common amongst German ex-servicemen of WW1, as it allowed their gas masks to seal properly (unlike the long handle-bars preferred pre-/early-WW1). It was a distinct feature of his but was not unique to him, even before he came to power.

The hobby shop I work at has had a very difficult time sourcing MiniArt kits. The one supplier we dealt with that was carrying them never had the full line and is dropping them, and one of our major suppliers was listing them as "Coming Soon", only to get frustrated at MiniArt backing out of any kit sales to them at the last minute. Again. Seems like the manufacturer is a tad erratic to deal with.
Oh well, we'll try to find another supplier for them.

I think this is a 100% Miniart creation. The "real' Tribfluegel never went beyond a wind tunnel model and I haven't seen drawings of anything beyond the standard model.

Soviets did that, with their versions.  They even took them to war against the Japanese and the Germans (for a short period until they all got shot down).

That's what the French did with their Lioré-et-Olivier built Cierva C.30s, the Armée de l'Air   
had taken delivery of 52 by the end of 1938, used by Artillery Observation "flights" (squadrons).
the Navy had 12, primarily used for torpedo tracking trials during firing exercises.

On May 9, 1940 the Armée de l'Air had 47 on charge: 22 with five observation flights, 25 in storage.
The Navy had thirteen: nine with squadron 3S-2, 2 in reserve and 2 at their Autogiro school.

Focke-Wulf built roughly thirty C.30s under their Cierva license, all on the private civil register.

I could see a neat little diorama of a German C.30A in camouflage alongside a Panzer I or II either in France or perhaps North Africa being used in an Army Cooperation role.  Maybe even do an Air Ambulance version with carriers on either side for a patient.

The French giros saw limited use after the invasion because the type was not suited to a mobile war -
too slow, too vulnerable, the German's wouldn't have faired ant better. As to side panniers, really a
no go for several reasons, the biggest being the drag on the underpowered airframe and handling
problems caused by the panniers. Which wouldn't be good on what was actually a fairly twitchy design.

A single AVRO Rota built C.30 was fitted with floats and it was a disaster, for the reasons stated above,
and, no, simply increasing engine power isn't a solution with the type, nor is increasing size as all of the
larger giros built in period were abject failures, most not being able to leave the ground and suffering
from major ground resonance issues.

Just a dumb question, but why would the USSR Triebflugel have Soviet stars as 'kill' markings ?
Also, the serial on the British version is 'VF-306' (with a dash). Someone should call Macross Command, and tell them we've found their lost Veritech Fighter . . .   ;D


cheers,

Just a guess but those kill marks might represent the number of Soviet pilots lost trying to land the damned thing!

Nothing unusual about the Russian/Soviet craft sporting red victory stars.  This was standard for the Russians as they hated the NAZI Swatsika and preferred to show their victories as red stars instead on their aircraft.

The "Lulubelle" was the name of the tank in Sahara, with Humphrey Bogart as Sgt. Joe Gunn  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara_(1943_American_film)) and " Lulu Belle" in the 1995 remake with Jim Belushi as Sgt. Joe Gunn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara_(1995_film))

DEF model made a Jim Belushi version of Sgt. Joe Gunn (http://www.missing-lynx.com/reviews/figures/defdf35014reviewbg_1.html) and it really looks like him. The main figure in this set look more like Belushi than Bogart.

"Hanomag" is a colloquial name for the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track, but actually the name of the company that produced the half-tracks (or parts thereof, AFAIK) that is also famous for their agricultural tractors (just like Lanz).

Maybe a Japanese post war 3-wheeler where the rear wheels were driven by the engine, but the the engine on the Tempo was mounted on the front wheel and it was a direct drive. The rear wheels were unpowered... so it would have been a very, very slow 2/3 track.

This sudden splurge of Stug kits makes me laugh. One of my club buddies has spent the last decade buying every Stug variant/Manufacturer tweak aftermarket kit to build the definitive Stug collection.
Total completed models produced out of this collection of kits and aftermarket = 0

Now nearly every one of these variants is out in injection kits.

I didn't realize the Croatians threw everything they had against the Yugoslavs.

It wasn't just the Corations, multiple sides in that conflict and the related ones used them.  BTW, technically they were all Yugoslavs. ;)

Some photos of them in use from the war(s):

I've lost count of how many Stug Ausf.G kits Miniart have released, I'm really hoping they'll also make some of the earlier versions in the future.

I've still got a few of the old DML kits of the early StuGs.

I have two of Dragon Ausf.F kits, they only come with a basic interior for the fighting compartment tho. I might get one of the Miniart Stugs & kit-bash it with a Dragon kit to make an Ausf.F with a full interior.

MiniArt appears to have chosen to ignore the often seen but never heard street mime from this interesting set of human subjects.

Mimes, like clowns, are pure evil.

The guy in the back with the straw hat only needs a ukulele and he's ready for some chap hop.
