   MINIART
    ...where innovation is always at work

Our innovative selection creates new possibilities

At MiniArt, we take great pride in our choice of subject matter. You won’t find run-of-the-mill kits. We select subject matter that has never been done in plastic or has never been done to our extraordinarily high standards for quality and accuracy.

U.S. Military Police

Quality beyond the ordinary
In creating tanks, armored vehicles and artillery, we cut no corners. Photo etched parts are used liberally to highlight details rarely exposed in other kits. Accessories, like ammo boxes, artillery shells, oil drums, even small pails, are perfect. And where else will you find instructions in color to help you navigate finishing touches?

Only life’s figures are more convincing
As part of our molding process, many of our figures are first sculptured by an artisan adept at capturing each facial crease and anatomical detail. . At times, you’ll even be able to discern nationalities by the crop of the hair, the jut of the jaw, and facial expressions.
