Very welcome news from MiniArt Limited, thanks to our 'unofficial' roving reporter - HISHAM...
A few weeks ago, MiniArt announced a very welcome release in the form of a British Armored car crew and caused a minor 'furore' by announcing a Dingo Scout Car, also in 1/35th scale.

Now, the lighter (German) AFVs are getting their own dedicated set with:

35072 - German Armored Car Crew

So, coming in the wake of an Sd.Kfz 221 & a 222 from Bronco and Tristar, this makes this set even MORE welcome!

This (five-figure) set covers both EARLY (D.A.K,) and later-war uniforms.

The release date has been set at FEBRUARY 2008...

Here's the Soviet Jeep crew. It's supposed to be released by the end of this month http://www.miniart-models.com/35048.htm

Hisham, I'm actually looking for just the crew figures, but I might just have to bite the bullet and buy this kit just to get the figures as I have a vehicle.

I think that there is a photo of SS Heavy tank BN 102 using a Dingo while on their drive to Normandy-the figures on the right might be made with that in mind. Dan

Close, but not an exact match David

Great set. These figures could easily fit into aq lot of other AFVs. Especially the DAK figures would fit a Sd.Kfz. 251/250 very well. Thanks for the update

Very possible, MiniArt have so far released every vehicle with two different crews, and appropriate markings, one original force, and one 'under new ownership'. A captured Dingo in North Afrika should make a nice dio with one of the various Pz.Kpfw. II's, III's or IV. They may also fit nicely in the Sahariana. Henk[/quote]

Henk[/quote] I would imagine that the European theater figures would fit very nicely in an autoblinda Lince, which would be very easy for Miniart to make. Also there are some other Italian armored cars made by italeri. The Afrika Korps figures could fit in a wide range of german armored cars made by tamiya and Italeri. i like the idea that they feature crews for captured vehicles.

Nice set. I'm looking forward to their British Armored car crew set, as well as Master Box's "Scotland the brave" 51st Highland set too.
