Anyone know of available Soviet Cold War era gear and personal equipment? I've found M68 helmets in resin but no other gear. Would it be largely the same as late WW2 gear, especially in areas further down the supply chain? My idea is to convert Miniart's Soviet artillery crew to late 70s/early 80s. Early idea is far east battalion.

Thanks muchly! Pictures very appreciated! I know you guys on here rock at this sort of thing!

Dragon used to make quite a bit of 80's Soviet figures. some are making a reappearance in their orange box kits. The figures themselves sucked but the gear and weapons are pretty good. you might find them useful.

Dragon has actually re-released the Soviet figures along with the two parts of the AK Family.

Thanks guys. I've actually got most if not all of those figure kits. The gear is alright, but barely gen.2 quality. Was hoping for something a bit nicer. Really glad to hear they are being reissued though, I missed out on getting the AK family boxes.
