scale:  1/35 - styrene

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The set:

This set contains five (5) figures that are walking. Four (4) figures look to be enlisted sailors and the last is an officer. The box art show four (4) figures with black trousers with dark blue jackets, and the fifth in all black. There are seven sprues packed into the box in one plastic bag. Two of the sprues are for the figures and the remaining five sprues are all weapons and personel equipment. All the parts are molded in a gray colored styrene with nice detailing.

The set also includes the new infantry weapons and equipment sets that now comes with most MiniArt figure sets. The weapons are of various types and the equipment is your standard troop personal items ie; canteen,helmet, spade etc. A small instruction sheet showing sprue layout and weapon assembly is included. The rear of the box shows the parts numbers for each figure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion:

Overall inspection of the parts show some nice detailing, considering these are plastic figures. Well worth the price for those who don't want, or can't afford resin figures.

Conclusion

Images of the unpainted built figures from the MiniArt website. Overall look of the figures is good, as are the details. Painting with bring out more detail and should prove to be some very handy figures for a small vignette or a diorama.

Conclusion:

This set would work out great combined with the Miniart Soviet heavy machine gun set. A set well worth having if you want to show Russian soldiers taking a break at the front etc.For the price of the kit and what you get inside, it's well worth having.
