The MiniArt 41014 Cierva C.30 with winter ski 1/35 model is an extremely detailed replica in 1/35 scale of the legendary Cierva C.30 autogyro, equipped with seasonal winter skis. This is a plastic model kit for self-assembly, intended for modelers who value both historical accuracy of details and exceptional component quality. The product does not include glue or paints – these are sold separately, allowing full customization and individual finishing of the model.

The Cierva C.30 was a pioneering Spanish autogyro developed in the 1930s by engineer Juan de la Cierva. This unique aircraft saw wide service in both military and civil roles in many countries, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Soviet Union, and Germany. It served as a transitional machine between conventional airplanes and helicopters and was used for observation, communications, reconnaissance, and training flights. The winter ski version was used primarily in Scandinavian countries and regions with challenging winter operating conditions.

The Cierva C.30 was operated during the interwar period and World War II. It was renowned for its reliability and ease of operation, and thanks to the simplicity of the fuselage and rotor, it marked a revolution in rotorcraft aviation of its era. The MiniArt model faithfully reproduces the specific construction of the autogyro, and the set includes authentic winter skis that require special attention during assembly.
