WW II – Russian Army

The Russian Army fought for the Allies in World War II and after a very difficult begin reached Berlin in may 1945 ending war in Europe. There are a few references representing this army.

Airfix

Airfix figures include the usual 7 poses. It is nice the inclusion of an officer looking for the enemy with binoculars.

The figures are well moulded.

2111 – Russian Army

I don´t have the complete set from this maker. The figures are similar to other productions from this company looking a bit underfeed. The kneeling soldier is to big in relation to other figures and there is a rock under his right knee which I consider a odd option.

There is huge heavy machine-gun that is clearly out of scale.

The majority of soldiers are equipped with a fur cap to protect from the cold. The prone figure is the least convincing as it seems to be looking at the ground.
