I'm happy to show you the master prototype of our first SCW model in 1:56^th scale: the stylish (and somewhat pulp-ish) Hispano Suiza MC-36 armoured truck, a huge beast measuring some 13cm long at this scale!

Thanks to the picture above, you can see what it looks like with its MG-armed standard turret... and below, its really dreadful look when improved with the turret of a cannibalized T-26!

The whole kit will consist of 17 parts, T-26 turret and hatchet included.

This prototype will be delivered tomorrow to the resin caster, for starting the master moulds making. I wouldn't look as too optimistic at forecasting, but it seems quite probable for us to be able to release the ultimate resin model within this month --or June at most.

Our most sincere thanks to all those who have been supporting us so far. You won't be deceived.

If curious about this model, a few more pictures on Minairons News blog: http://minairons-news.blogspot.com/2013/05/our-first-156-scw-model.html

Outstanding. The hand starter crank is wonderful, and I agree that it looks better with the MG turret. I'd like to see it in a Picasso-inspired abstract camouflage pattern. ;-)

Truly a beast!

Loving it!

Oooh, that's nice!

Any idea on what the final version will cost?

My God Man! If one has to ask, then one shouldn't be buying it! It's an Hispano-Suiza not a Morris!

Seriously though... How much?

Between EUR 18.00 and EUR 20.00. By no means higher.

That is, a price the closest possible to those of Empress --once converted into GBP, I mean.

I want it

I think I can see that in my VBCW army.

That's it! I'm now going to do the SCW. Thank you Minairon you made my mind up for me.
