The MiniArt European Tram looks like it is almost at the stop, or in our case store shelves.

Looks like it has more parts than the resin kit, will have to unearth it and see. Looks like a nice kit with plenty of detail hopefully.
Hey Bill, I think this will help you with your search from a year ago or so when we discussed the resin one. bob d.

Quite likely, Maybe, YES

Trams like this or very close to it where used in germany since before WWII and will likely have spread eastward either between the wars of post war from the GDR.

German sample from 1924

Not exactly the same but only recently replaced in Poland

When this was first announced I was wondering if this Tram would fit the Miniart "Street section with Tram lines kit #36040?
After sending the question to Miniart 3 times via e-mail and Facebook I have had no replies.
I guess they, Miniart, don't communicate with the consumers.

In any event I will buy both only from someone that has a strong return policy in the event they are not compatible.

It looks like 36040 - STREET SECTION w/TRAM LINES will be part of the kit.

It's on pre-order at Jadar Hobby for around Dec 2nd. Looks like around $49 in the EU, and $40 if you live outside the EU.. I guess that's a reasonable price for the size of the kit. Can't wait to get it!
