We’ve been doing lots of playtesting of the new Pulp Alley Vehicles rules, which includes rules for tanks and armored cars. Here’s some pictures of a new vehicle we recently received…
I was immediately impressed with Minairon Miniatures new Hispano Suiza MC-36 Armored Car ( http://www.minairons.eu/en/ ). Even the way this kit is packaged clearly shows an emphasis on “quality”…

All the pieces were free from visible mold lines, and the kit is practically ready to glue together right out of the box…

The box says, “Fast Assembly Kit” and I have to agree 100%. The resin is very high quality and the casting is superb. Everything fits together extremely well. Other manufacturers could really learn a thing or two from Minairons Miniatures…

Of special note was how the body mounts to the fender piece like a glove. Every step of the way, this kit suggests it was put together for gamers. Everything lines up nicely and is sturdy enough for tabletop gaming. Exceptional work!...

Here’s a pic with a couple Copplestone miniatures for scale. I can see us using this cool 1/56 scale vehicle in lots of our Pulp Alley games…

oh that looks pretty cool.

Oh WOW :-* . Well done. That chassis looks solid as. Yes you can tell they've pulled out all stops in the quality section. The parts are crisp, solid and detailed. Awesome.
Can't wait till you paint it because as it is, the body looks like a big dog sleeping by the fire. lol

Looks really good, I want one!

Me to, but must resist.
Resistance is futile. lol lol
I can see this vehicle fitting in lots of different settings.
Not only does it amuse me to think of my Chinese Warlord riding around in one of these, I think it would look great in a Post-Apocalyptic game running over mutants. ;D

:o very cool !

they have a blog with some interesting post about releasing miniatures or pictures of their moulds
http://minairons-news.blogspot.com.es/
looks like they tried to finance the production of the model with a crowdfunding project, but failed to get enough backers.
Its cool to see they finally found the way to produce it, its a lovely model

Mine arrived yesterday, and I agree with d phipp's review.
It assembled very nicely without any problem, and is now undercoated and waiting at the paint shop.

I must confess that I expected it to look larger next to 28mm ...

This is totally a pulp-era batmobile.
