This review will tell you more about Miniart 1/35 British Stuart Mk.I Late Prod Interior Kit (35441). It is not hard to guess from the name that new kit brings yet another version of the famous tank. Set is molded in popular scale and offers a lot of features as it includes the interior parts as well. I checked some of the previous versions, so it will be interesting to see what is supplied here. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, and you can expect all frames sealed into one plastic bag. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another version in the same scale.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.
On the first large frame you will find hull panels which should be combined together. Those parts feature nice details both inside and outside.
Turret interior will be nicely detailed, just be sure to think on how to expose it on your model project.
Note that top section is molded as one-piece element, what should help you get a proper shape. Nevertheless, all hatches are designed separately.
Side skirts should be glued out of several parts. Note that main sections are still one-piece and will give you a better alignment.
There are a lot of small parts in the interior, so be ready to work with tweezers. It is also a good idea to think on how to paint those parts in advance.
Assembly manual should come handy in planning. Nevertheless, I also recommend to get some reference materials for a better result.
Overall molding quality looks great, and I didn't find any issues on the parts.
Here you can check the famous radial engine for this tank.
Some small frames are molded as interconnections, just like what you see on the photo above and below. Kit features plastic tracks, so the final result should look convincing in assembled state.
There are also some minor items included which should help with fine features on your build. Wheels are molded together with rubber sections here.
Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks great, but there are no masks or templates included in the kit.
Unpainted PE fret will be useful for some fine features on your model. Just pay attention on how those parts should be installed.
Decals are printed in Cartograf, so printing quality looks great. On the photo below you can see all marking options which can be copied out of the box.
Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show more pages in the video-review.
New tank should be already available for purchase. In my opinion this is a great complex build for modelers who would like to get all features out of the box. Here you can expect different assembly options, interior features as well as clever engineering. The only thing that might be needed is the figures for the crew and maybe some diorama base. Well, even the solo project would look great, but don't expect a weekend project from this one. :)
