New 1/72 UNL-35 Armoured Car

20GEV007 box
We have just added a new armoured fighting vehicle to our ever growing 1/72 Spanish Civil War collection: now it's been the turn for UNL-35 armoured car. Although inspired on the Soviet BA-20, this Spanish-made vehicle outperformed its model, so being is considered by many as the best AFV in Spanish Civil War. UNL-35s were mainly used by the Spanish Republic Army and Asaltos Police, although some were captured by their Nationalist enemies. A few managed to escape capture by crossing the Catalonian-French border, and were seized by the French Army --falling into German hands some months later, following the invasion of France.

UNL-35s come in 2-model boxes. Each model kit comprises just 11 parts, most of them in high quality resin. Only headlights and MGs are cast in white metal. Here below you can watch what one such vehicles looks like, once built:
