SALE from VALIANT MINIATURES!

I know, Christmas is over and for a "New Year"-gift, it's a little bit late, if you don't live in UK!

But, there is also a 'Life after Christmas and New Year!" and a real collector and modelmaker never gives up!

Also for those who are waiting for SALES after Christmas and New Year, this could be a good opportunity!

If you'll buy 5 boxed sets from Valiant Miniatures 1/72 scale WW2 figures, you'll get a metal gun FREE and pay nothing for the postage!

I think, there is no need to make Valiant Miniatures known.

They produce high quality WW2 figures in hard plastic. Each set consists 64-68 figures with alternative heads and arms and additional weapons.

To date they produced only 4 sets:

British Tommies 44/45

Classic German Infantry 44/45

American GI's 42/44

Germans in Normandy 44.

(The photos are from "plasticsoldierreview" website!)

Especially the alternative heads and arms, additional weapons and the fact that the figures are produced in hard plastic material make it ideal for conversions. The quality and detail is high.

They have also a metal production. The offer includes ONE of the 4 gun products, 2 German, 1 British and 1 US!

British 6pdr At-gun and 3 crew

US 57 mm AT-gun and 3 crew

German PAK 40 75 mm AT-gun and 3 crew

German IG18 75 mm Infantry gun and 3 crew

This offer could be a good opportunity to test their metal products!

What the box contents:



and the instruction:

The first Italeri "Fast Assembly"-kit!

The "fast assembly"-kits from Italeri was for a long time in my radar, but the models produced till now wasn"t on my wish list, till I noticed this one:



Autocannone RO3 with 90/53 AA Gun in a 1/72 scale!

As usual the information from Wiki:

The Cannone da 90/53 was an Italian designed cannon, and one of the most successful anti-aircraft guns to see service during World War II. It was used both in an anti-aircraft role and as an anti-tank gun.

The designation "90/53" meant that the gun had a 90 mm caliber and a barrel 53 caliber-lengths long.

Fifty or so 57 were ordered to be mounted on heavy Lancia trucks and designated Autocannoni da 90/53.

The box includes 8 figures:



There are 2 sprues the above for the truck and the below for the AA gun:



At last I got one and build it!



and from the opposite side:



The rest of figures and the whole model will be painted and altered!
