A few months ago, the Spanish manufacturer, Mig Productions, surprised and amazed everone by releasing a 1/35th scale WWII Patrol Boat in 1/35th scale. Now, Mig have announced a new release, designed specifically for diorama builders - a ''half-sunken'' version. This truly spectacular new release, can be seen:

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

very nice,

any idea of price? if its more affordable than the full kit i could be tempted by this one

regards

Joe

Price is in the text of the story..Jim

Thank you for posting the News, Jim!

I think that this Bronekater will be a better seller than the Full Hull (intact) one for three reasons:
- Price
- Dimension needed for the Display
- Diorama possibilities

Good work Miguel, I can see that you will make profit out of your Leningrad Diorama

Skipper

Absolutely stunning! I think this might well sell better than the full version, since it's cheaper. The possibilty of those dockside dio's are building up......Thanks Jim....good news!

D'oh,

Well in my defense, the pictures are too aluring! #:-)

Yes, in fact I decided to make that version motivated by many modellers that needed that ship just for a simple diorama to combinate with any vehicle in the river. So I made it and used for one diorama.
I agree that the measurement is less tha the new one and is better for diorama builders, and also is cheaper to produce.

It is a clear example of a product coming from modeller necesities.

In another hand, I would like to announce here that we have waiting to release in the next months another small soviet boat, a PG 117, smaller like a small truck, but very fun one because you can paint it with hard camo, like a tank.
I have the master, but we need to prepare it for casting.

I must admit that I am falling in love for boats and ships and I am discovering a new world.

All the best

MIG

OH NO!!!!!
Miguel, this way I will have more trouble explaining to Mrs Skipper another box :-)
As I usually tell others, once you're in it - you will never be abble to quit (Ships, off course!!!!)

I am looking forward to see the little PG-117, and as you know, you can count with one for me, please!

Skipper

It was a real headache actually 'classifying' this for the News Section:

Warship Section: Logical, it is a model warship..

However, its not a full-hull or waterline kit so:

Diorama section ahh... very obvious, it's designed for a diorama Although...

AFVs it's got a T34 turret, so that makes it a hybrid....

If anyone can suggest a logical way of putting it in Aircraft, i'd be delighted to see it..Jim

Jim!

You have posted it in the right place!
Even if it is a sunken boat, it is still a BOAT

Skipper

Don't suppose this'll help.....

When I suggested to SWMBO she buy this for me.... she told me to take a flying leap... :-)

Here is a drawing of the PG-117
