1:24 Tractors from MiniArt

[Fabrux]

Looks like MiniArt is tooling up some 1:24 versions of a few of their 1:35 tractor kits. Hopefully these do well and more comes along!

Nice.

But, really odd looking compared to American Tractors, Esp. the '38 & '50 versions.

I believe these to be Lanz Bulldog tractors, but that is a guess.

Yes these are Lanz Bulldog's

I'll be getting them

Impressive to see and knowing Miniart they'll be exquisite. Miniart's 1/35th scale full-interior tank kits are truly cutting edge pieces, up there with Rye Field and Takom for some of the most detailed plastic model kits of ANYTHING you could currently purchase.

Not the 1:35 kits I wanted to see scaled up but hopefully they will do well and we get others in the future.

Shut up and take my money!!

Wiki Link.

They were used all over Europe, and also in Argentina and Australia. It looks like the one place they were not used is North America. The American Tractor Industry was robust enough to keep a primitive tractor like the Lanz from gaining much of a foothold here.

But, neat looking machines. One would certainly make a great load for the huge Krupp Titan truck the Revell just put out.

Interestingly, the Lanz company was bought out by John Deere.   https://antiquetractorblog.com/2016/10/18/john-deere-lanz-tractors/

They look a lot like the road rollers my local council had during the 80s. I might have to get more than 1 to try a conversion

After watching Utube Vids and reading more about these...

Now I want one!

Drat!

It's actually pretty good between 1/35th and 1/24th scale. Hasegawa, Heller, Revell, Miniart, Meng, ICM, and a few others all have stuff available.

I'd be interested in a 1:24 '20s Fordson tractor or a Buffalo Springfield steam roller.  The European kits haven't grabbed me.

X2!  I'm in.

Spotted this cruising the interwebs, anyone have any insight?  Appears to be a Ukrainian company so that probably doesn't bode well.

[blubaja]

Yea. They're great. Military kit quality.

I saw the D8506 in a store recently.

Yes, Miniart is out of Ukraine but I believe they have moved production to Poland. They are presently in business. Known for their 1/35 scale diorama bases & building facades and figure sets. Their armor kits are good but they have lots and lots of parts, many of them fiddly. If its a subject you like and don't mind lots of fiddly parts, go for it. Check online suppliers such as ScaleHobbyist and Spruebrothers.

Those would look great on a diorama clearing a grassy field for runway  ME-109's  or FW-190's parked in the background.

Glad they got out. Amodel still in Ukraine.
