Not bad...

But the bad news is that one can't sell those old resin kits as fast as these crazy Ukrainians release new goodies...

Joking aside it's much appreciated... And I'm a big fan of these brands

Looks like a nice set. Wish some of their other WIP's would finally hit the hobby shop shelves.

I think that this will be a great kit especially for those of use who are not the greatest scratch builders. Where do I get mine

I agree these look really good, and I think they would stand up well next to some of the better scratchbuilt stuff as well.

Any word on whether or not MiniArt is planning on releasing more furniture and/or other diorama accessories like this in the near future?

That's great and it was the time!

I wonderd why Miniart has arrived before, for exemple, Tamiya...

This set shows Miniart is a company well focused on modellers wishes and needs. I hope it'll produce a lot of items like this

It's promising and helpful for dioramas but if the price is too high (i.e. more than $10 USD), most of us will just resort to scratch-building.

I have some mixed feelings about this release.
Its great that Miniart are releasing items such as this ... its no wonder they are a popular company and Id like to encourage them to continue. But ....
What kitchen has only two chairs? Any kitchen that has two dressers ... or one and a side-board and a table that size would have 4+ chairs. If you wanted to do a scene in a kitchen and add some figures, you´d really have to get 2 sets.
I´ll probably buy one anyway and have the chairs as tied on stowage somewhere, and the rest as damaged and used in rubble!
If I was reviewing this set, I would deduct a few points for being incomplete!

Excellent stuff.
I hope they will release more civilian figures in the near future(More than have already been anounced)

I have seen, on their website, they will be releasing a couple of civilian cars. Much appreciated
