1/35 scale figures Russian suggestions please.

I think your best bet (or at least the easiest to convert) would be these?



A long time ago I converted a set of Miniart Russian and German infantry (Kursk dio if anyone remembers it). I was pleased with the results and it’s not that difficult to do.
If I see anything closer I’ll be sure and post.
All the best

They do indeed Joe, just wish I was able to paint to match their quality.


These are also in my list of " when I can paint to match their quality."

Again thanks for looking .

In my experience with painting the Tommy's War figures recently, I found it very enjoyable to paint the well-sculpted figures, and you know I don't really enjoy painting, John!
So why not buy just one and give it a try?

After much searching I've decided on these.


Sitting I know, but some of the arm angles look as if they will suit, ( minor surgery no doubt ) Good price from a seller as it was the last one he had .

MiniArt do some quite unusual figures and the few I've used have been pretty good.

Yes Jim, if I'm lucky the faces will be well detailed . Unfortunate those standing figures were discontinued . There were some in Europe but don't want to have to pay customs duty plus the postage which was high.

Hey John,
Just wanted to point out the figures on the tank box art are Spanish not Sovs, though they've got red stars on their caps. So, probably Sov-equipped Nationalists. Spanish flags colours on the turret and the BA-3 armoured car
Also, what period are you depicting? The early uniform, as in the MiniArt set, with collar rank tabs, was replaced in '43 with Tsarist style rank shoulder boards, by which time the T-26s were mostly gone.
Also also, the MiniArt 'early' guys have Ppsh SMGs, which was 'inspired' by the Finnish Suomi SMG, so was only just in service for Barbarossa. If you're doing Sovs in Poland, or Khalkin Gol, no Pepeshas

[Steve-the-Duck]

Oops, just read your T-26 buold thread and the plan. So, early Barbarossa then for the period?

Today on Missing-Lynx, somebody asked about this kit:



Apparently the tank is pretty poor by modern standards, but the price is good for a set of five resin figures
