Soviet Armor - T-34, T-44, T-54, and T-55 Series

MiniArt offers comprehensive coverage of Soviet tank development from World War II through the Cold War era. The T-34/85 series includes multiple production variants from different factories and time periods, capturing the evolution of this legendary medium tank with specific details for Plant 112 production, composite turrets, and various armament configurations. The collection extends into post-war development with T-44 and T-44M medium tanks representing the transitional design between wartime T-34s and the revolutionary T-54 series. Cold War subjects include T-54-1 initial production models and extensive T-55 variants covering different modification years and export versions including Israeli Tiran 4 conversions and Chinese Type 59 derivatives. Many kits feature complete interior detail including engine compartments, fighting compartments, driver positions, and ammunition storage, allowing modelers to build museum-quality cutaway displays or fully detailed interiors visible through open hatches.

German Panzers - Panzer III and IV Variants

The German armor selection focuses heavily on the Panzer III and Panzer IV medium tanks that formed the backbone of Wehrmacht armored divisions throughout World War II. Panzer III coverage includes early Ausf. B and C variants with their distinctive suspension and turret configurations, through Ausf. D representing the type's evolution. The Panzer IV series receives exceptional attention with multiple Ausf. H variants representing production from different manufacturers including Vomag, Krupp-Grusonwerk, and Nibelungenwerk, each with factory-specific details and monthly production variations. Late-war Ausf. J variants and specialized observation tank versions demonstrate MiniArt's commitment to documenting the full range of Panzer IV development. The kits capture subtle differences in hull construction, turret configuration, track types, and equipment stowage that distinguished production batches, providing armor historians and modelers with accurate representations of specific vehicles and time periods.

American Lend-Lease Armor - M3 Lee and Grant Series

MiniArt provides comprehensive coverage of the M3 medium tank family, including both American M3 Lee and British Grant variants that served across multiple theaters during World War II. The collection includes early, mid, and late production M3 Lee variants documenting the type's rapid evolution, British Grant Mk. I and Mk. II versions with their modified turret configurations, and specialized variants including the M3A5 with its riveted hull construction. Several kits feature complete interior detail revealing the complex internal arrangement of this multi-turret design with its sponson-mounted 75mm gun, rotating turret with 37mm gun, and cramped crew positions. The M3 Stuart light tank series complements the medium tank offerings with initial production and diesel-powered variants. These kits allow modelers to explore American tank design philosophy during the critical early war period and the vehicles' service with American, British, and Soviet forces under Lend-Lease programs.

Specialty Subjects and Experimental Designs

Beyond mainstream production tanks, MiniArt offers fascinating specialty subjects including the Kugelpanzer 41 spherical reconnaissance vehicle, Soviet ball tank experimental designs, Romanian Tacam T-60 tank destroyer conversions, and observation tank variants. These unusual subjects demonstrate MiniArt's willingness to explore obscure corners of armor history, providing modelers with unique display pieces and conversation starters that extend beyond the familiar Tiger and Sherman subjects dominating most armor collections. The inclusion of crew figures, detailed interiors, and specific production variants allows modelers to create historically accurate vignettes and dioramas that tell specific stories from armored warfare history.
