Love it! Must have.
Update: the Beute ("booty" or "captured") aspects of this are intriguing with German troops using it.

As mentioned, this looks to be a highly versatile and welcome addition to MiniArt's figure line. Looks to be an excellent vignette in a box as is.
Given my unintentional affinity to the Eastern Front, I think I am going to have to agree with Bill on this one. Must have!

Sure some of that cook's moustache ended up in the soup I like the infantry man with the puttees. I'll be getting this one.

You can also combine russian "gulash kanone" and a cook (POW) with german troops holding mess tins...

A very nice model element for a diorama. the only thing that looks to be messing from the kit is some food supplies.

I think this is a very interesting kit and one that will surely make it into my stash (at least one).

Wow! Very interesting kit! These russians are perfect to reinforce my german field kitchen /fileld bakery crew.
Just need to give a "Im Dienst der Dt Wehrmacht" brassard to them...

I think its a very useful little item. Even if you never show ít as proposed on the box art, it would be a great filler for Eastern front dios. As MiniArt have a habit of doubling up their kits, there could very well be a "Beute-kitchen" yet, with German crew. It wouldn´t surprise me anyway.
