Miniart 1:35 - Dingo Mk II Pz. Kpfw. Mk I 202 (e) w/Crew - Plastic Model Kit #35074
The Dingo was a small two-man armoured car, relatively low and wide enough to have the required stability for fast off-road rides. Its initial armour was thin, just enough to stand against infantry ordnance. At the Army’s request, it was thickened, reaching 30mm (1.18 in) on the front nose and glacis. Deflecting armoured sloped panels were welded all around the central framework. The front driving compartment had four opening hatches. The engine was the regular Daimler 6-cyl 2.5 l 55 hp (41 kW), fed by a 300 l (79.25 gal) gasoline reserve (two tanks), which gave an incredible long range for its small size. The transmission consisted of a pre-selector gearbox, fluid flywheel, five forward gears and five reverse gears, allowing steering with all four wheels. This feature gave the Dingo a very tight turning radius, only 7m (23 ft), but the system was tricky to master for inexperienced drivers, so a more conventional design with front-wheel steering was chosen for the Mk.II.
During the course of wartime production, it appeared that the flat bottom plate, which allowed the crossing of uneven ground, was highly vulnerable to mines. The rubber tires were of the run-flat semi-solid type, so no spares were carried, but their toughness was compensated by the massive vertical coil springs, to give a smooth ride. There was a swiveling seat next to the driver, for a machine-gun servant/radio operator, equipped with a N°19 wireless radio set. The base armament was a removable cal. 0.303 (7.7 mm) Bren gun, with a dozen spare magazines. This armament could be swapped over for a heavier Boys antitank rifle (cal 0.55 in/14 mm). This gave the vehicle, which was fast and well-protected, with a good engine and low profile, a real advantage against all sorts of light vehicles, making it perfectly suited for reconnaissance and liaison missions.
The Dingo was produced from 1939 to 1945, and remained virtually unaltered.
The Mark I had a flexible sliding roof and the all-wheel steering. It was difficult to handle for inexperienced drivers.
The Mark IA was a sub-variant equipped with a folding roof.
The Mark IB had a reverse cooling air flow and new armored grilles for the radiator, allowing better ventilation. The bulk of these vehicles served in the Libyan desert.
The Mark II had a revised steering system, using only the front wheels. The lighting equipment was modernised, altogether with the Mark IB modification range.
The Mark III was the final version, coming in 1944 with a waterproof ignition system and no roof at all.
The kit contains 262 parts.
Includes parts for one armoured car and two figures.

Sold Out
Miniart 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer SU-76(r) w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35053
It was common for the German army to use captured vehicles in battle. The SU-76 was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during and after World War II. Its German designation was Jagdpanzer SU-76. The SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 light tank chassis. Its simple construction made it the second most produced Soviet armoured vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
The SU-76M virtually replaced infantry tanks in the close support role. Its thin armour and open top made it vulnerable to antitank weapons, grenades, and small arms. Its light weight and low ground pressure gave it good mobility.
The kit contains 588 parts.
Includes parts for one tank and five figures.

Miniart 1:35 Soviet Artillery Crew on Maneuvere
£20.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - Soviet Artillery Crew on Maneuvere - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35081
The Soviet anti-tank gun ZiS-3, also known as the 76-mm divisional gun M1942, was constructed at the Artillery Factory No. 92 in 1940 for the needs of the Red Army suffering enormous losses at the beginning of the Second World War. The gun was developed by V.G. Grabin, a Soviet artillery designer. The ZiS-3 design was based on the F-22USV cannon and the ZiS-2 anti-tank gun. Combining the F-22USV barrel and the ZiS-2 carriage, the ZiS-3 turned out to be far more effective compared to its prototypes. Unlike the F-22USV, the ZiS-3 was equipped with a muzzle brake which allowed to reduce recoil. Besides, its production was a lot easier and cheaper because most parts were manufactured by means of casting, and it was allowed to use materials lower in quality.
During the war, when fast production and large quantities were the highest priority, the ZiS-3 took part in combat without having been put to the tests. However, in the battlefield it proved its superiority over other anti-tank guns and later it was recognised by the authorities and obtained its official name - the divisional field gun model 1942. Due to its high combat effectiveness, the ZiS-3 had the largest share in the field gun production at wartime.
The kit contains 221 parts.
Includes parts for five figures and one anti-tank gun ZiS-3.

Miniart 1:35 Soviet Naval Troops (Special Edition)
£11.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - Soviet Naval Troops (Special Edition) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35094
Building a Soviet fleet was a national priority, but many senior officers were killed in purges in the late 1930s. When Germany invaded in 1941 and captured millions of soldiers, many sailors and naval guns were detached to reinforce the Red Army; these reassigned naval forces had especially significant roles on land in the battles for Odessa, Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Novorossiysk, Tuapse, and Leningrad. The Baltic fleet was blockaded in Leningrad and Kronstadt by minefields, but the submarines escaped. The surface fleet fought with the anti-aircraft defence of the city and bombarded German positions.
Through Lend-Lease, the U.S. and Britain gave the USSR ships with a total displacement of 810,000 tons. The composition of the Soviet fleets in 1941 included 3 aged battleships, 7 cruisers, 59 destroyer-leaders and squadron-destroyers, 218 submarines, 269 torpedo boats, 22 patrol vessels, 88 minesweepers, 77 submarine-hunters, and a range of other smaller vessels.
During the war, many of the vessels on the slips in Leningrad and Nikolayev were destroyed (mainly by aircraft and mines), but the Soviet Navy received captured Romanian destroyers and Lend-Lease small craft from the U.S., as well as the old Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Sovereign (renamed Arkhangelsk) and the United States Navy cruiser USS Milwaukee (renamed Murmansk) in exchange for the Soviet part of the captured Italian navy.
From the beginning of hostilities, Soviet Naval Aviation provided air support to naval and land operations involving the Soviet Navy. This service was responsible for the operation of shore-based floatplanes, long-range flying boats, catapult-launched and vessel-based planes, and land-based aircraft designated for naval use.

Miniart 1:35 - Soviet T-70 M & ZiS-3 w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35056
The Soviet T-70 was a light tank used during the Second World War. It was intended to replace two other tanks: the T-60 scout tank and the T-50 light infantry tank. The T-70 had a 45mm L/46 gun Model 38 and a coaxial 7.62mm DT machine gun. The maximum armour thickness was 60mm (on the turret front). The first tanks produced had a serious problem with the arrangement of engines, and were soon redesigned as the T-70M tanks, although they continued to be referred to as T-70. The production started in 1942 and ended in 1943, with 8,226 vehicles completed. The tank remained in service until 1948.
The ZiS-3 was a Soviet 76.2mm divisional field gun used during the Second World War. ZiS stood for "Zavod imeni Stalina" ("Factory named after Stalin"), the honorific title of the factory which first constructed this gun. When the ZiS-3 was first demonstrated to the Soviet authorities, Stalin called it "a masterpiece of artillery systems design". The Soviet Union produced over 103,000 ZiS-3 guns.

Miniart 1:35 - USV-BR 76mm Gun Mod.1941 with Limber and Crew - Plastic model kit #35129
The USV was a Soviet 76 mm cannon issued in 1939 for the demands of the Red Army. The gun was classified as "divisional" because it was specifically meant for batteries under the direct command of division headquarters. Based on the previous F-22 design, the USV gun was also called the F-22 USV.
By 1940 over a thousand units were ready, and in 1941 when the plan for divisional guns was fulfilled, the production stopped, however not for long. With the German invasion of the Soviet Union the production was reopened at the Barrikady factory in Stalingrad and No. 92 Plant in Nizhny Novgorod. The relaunched model was designated the USV-BR. It was widely deployed in 1941, the first year of the Great Patriotic War. Over eight thousand units were built in the following two years, but by the end of 1942 the USV-BR was completely replaced by the simpler and cheaper ZiS-3.
The kit contains 329 parts.
Includes parts for a Soviet USV-BR gun with a 52-R-353M limber (Mod. 1942), five figures and six ammunition boxes with shells.

Miniart 1:35 - ZIS-3 Gun Emplacement - Plastic model kit #36058
The 76-mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3) was a Soviet 76.2 mm divisional field gun used during World War II. ZiS was a factory designation and stood for Zavod imeni Stalina ("factory named after Stalin"), the honorific title of Artillery Factory No. 92, which first constructed this gun.
The design works of ZiS-3 started in the end of 1940 on the Artillery Factory No. 92 under supervision of V. G. Grabin. There was no order for this work; moreover, at that time the attitude toward such development programs on the part of artillery commanders, such as Marshal Kulik, the head officer of Soviet artillery, was extremely negative. So the project was run purely on the initiative of Grabin, his design bureau and the Artillery Factory No. 92 head and his deputies. None of them informed state authorities about the ZiS-3 project.
After having been built, the first ZiS-3 gun was hidden from the watchful eyes of the authorities, who continued to ignore the Red Army's need for light and medium field guns. The authorities' main argument was the information that German heavy tanks carried exceptionally strong armour. In reality Germany did not have such tanks in early 1941 and this misinformation was the result of successful Nazi propaganda about the Neubaufahrzeug multi-turreted prototype tank.
When ZiS-3 guns were finally transferred to the Red Army under personal responsibility of Grabin and Artillery Factory No. 92 head staff, the combat experience showed the superiority of ZiS-3 over all other types of divisional level field guns. This allowed the ZiS-3 to be presented to a group of state authorities headed by Joseph Stalin and thus obtain all needed approval. After the demonstration was over Stalin said: "This gun is a masterpiece of artillery systems design." The total number of ZiS-3s produced exceeded 103,000 pieces.
The kit contains 151 parts.
Includes: models of ZIS-3, six ammo boxes w/shells and gun crew set.
