Besides of at 1/100 and 1/144 scales, we tried prototyping it at 1/72 too – with the aim to evaluate chances and costs to make it at such scale too.

Honestly, result of calculations was deceiving --too costly for setting a decent price to it. Not to say about the 1/56 scale you'd like it at --sorry.

Hi, all!

We at Minairons Miniatures are happy to show you our first release of 2015: Grumman FF-1/GE-23 fighter at 1:100 scale, the first aircraft carrier-based fighter – a few dozens of which were acquired by the Spanish Republic during the SCW.

Model kit itself is well detailed albeit quite simple, as you can see in the image below. All main parts are made of high-quality resin, while struts and propeller are white-metal. As a novelty with regard to previous releases, this kit includes a translucent resin cockpit.

Also, kit includes a decals sheet with markings for U.S., Commonwealth (Canadian), and Spanish Republican service. It's been priced at €15.95 EUR, just as the rest of our 1:100 aircraft range.

Regards!
