Preview: MiniArt's 35th scale "Ammo Loading" (SU-85, GAZ-MM & Crew) "Big Set"

We have seen another model company copy this recently, but these guys did it first. MiniArt is combining their models to make a whole diorama-in-the-one-box. Take a look at their big set "Ammo Loading" in 35th scale (SU-85, GAZ-MM, base, power pole road signs & crew) in our preview...

"Ammo Loading" (SU-85, GAZ-MM & Crew) Big Set
From MiniArt
Kit No #36071
1/35th scale
The kit contains a SU-85, GAZ-MM & Crew in the box.
We like MiniArt's diorama series. These are a combination (usually in 1/35th scale)of kits in the one box. Vehicle, a base, scenery accessories & that human element that make up a whole diorama in the one box for the modeller. You would not need anything else in this scene (maybe some dust, leaves and water effects) to make a great scene without shopping around.

This set first came to light in the catalogue for this year's new releases along with some other diorama sets.
Skip to today and we see the first elements of this kit - the models built up and presented in one configuration. We will have colours, plastic & photo-etch in another preview down the line...

The kit:
MiniArt's diorama series looks to give the modeller a complete scene in the one box, and this one fits the mould (hur hur) quite well, All included in the box are:
-ISU-85 self-propelled gun
-GAZ-MM truck
-Six crew members are included
-Ammo boxes, 
-Road signs, 
-A metal telegraph pole
Below there is a gallery of these kits made up so you can see them all in the same scene, constructed, painted & weathered to a high standard. 

The scene depicts a soviet crew unloading from the truck into the Su-85...
