The new kit by MiniArt
The new "German Fuel Tanks & Bombs" from MiniArt are made in a new tooled kit in a 1/48th scale to match their new aircraft series in the same scale.

The box contains six sprues, packed with plastic parts representing the small and very large-scale bombs from Luftwaffe aircraft of the '40s.

There are six sprues full of stores ( & possibilities)
Like their other ordnance kits, the stencils & markings are included on a decal sheet for this kit.

That is all we know about this kit so far. See more about all of MiniArt's kits on their website...
