I have just ordered this, 1/35 set. It has uptodate Russian Tankers, and will be good for one of my T-90 Tanks. They can be used for any Modern Russian Tank, APC and SPG

I just saw those on the web yesterday, I want them so bad! I just don't have T-90 or T-72B3 yet though... Let us know how they look.

Thanks for the tip off Geoff, these are just what I have been looking for. Did you get them from a UK/EU supplier as I am wary of getting hit for Parcel Force 'fees' and VAT whilst trying to buy even such a modestly priced item from abroad?

The £15.00 UK limit for 'tax free' goods is just ludicrously low in this day and age.

Thank you.

Best regards,

They really should rework the box art to put more focus on the tank commander standing in his tank and not out of it. Without his tank he really looks creepy!

And shouldn't there be an overweight general with a really big hat in this set?

And the Putin figure should have been shirtless and wrestling a bear while thumbing his nose at the West.

But then he wouldn't belong in a Moscow Victory Day setting; he would have to go in the "Destroyed mountain environment and hastily-constructed ski resort town with unfinished and/or hazardous hotel rooms" set.

Keep bashing if it makes you feel better but IOC president and our athletes said something else.
If it was intended to be funny...well then sry I didnt get it.

Sorry about then. Nothing is ever funny to everyone.

Of course the IOC, being such a lucrative business, would have nothing to gain and lots of cash to lose if they were to admit things went other than perfectly.

But, alas, I fear I have taken us far off-topic, so I thank you, Andreas, for your point. I will refrain from any further attempts at levity in this thread.

Hello Mark,

on the other hand I think I overreacted and see things many times too serious. I guess its because I read too many news....too many bs going on.

Back to those figures. Believe it or not, one day before I got the newsletter from Luckymodel about them, I said to my wife that Im looking to build a T-90A from the recent parade in moscow. And that there are no matching figures so far. Well, the next day those were released haha. Should have wished a lottery win or something else haha

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi, could you say me samething about the dimension of these figures? I mean, they are a bit little like Alpine or same Legend or a bit bigger like Warriors, Jaguar,evolution, or minisoldiers?

I like somuch the usa iraq figures....but all depend from their dimension.....

Waiting your answer,i say you goodbye and thanks in advance.

The dimension of these figures? I only have Ant-Miniatures and Black Dog Figures and are all the same dimensions.
only the guy in the suit a tad smaller, but I think he is in real life

At the risk of getting flamed and being off topic. My Russian wife translated a news item in which it was reported to Putin that Angela Merkle said "Holding a victory parade in Sevastopol was inconsiderate and inflammatory" Putin replied "We can have the parade in Berlin again if she likes".

Now I think Putin is a madman but that is funny and he does have a way with one liners.

Hi Richard,

I heard about that too but as far as I know it wasn't Putin who said that. Unfortunately I cant find an article in the net quoting that line or even mention who in fact said it. But nowadays it doesnt really matter who said what, at the end of the day it was Putin...(by no means an attack on your wife!!!! This was my general and personal opinion about Mass Media and we seriously get off topic, sry for that)

Best regards and cant wait for the figs to arrive
