Another excellent set of figures. Sculpting is first rate.

I agree these figures look great. My issue with MiniArt is they are not true1/35 scale, When they are put on or close to vehicles, they are giants.

That's their Slavic/Scandinavian ancestry . Very handy figures. Can be used as POW's too.

So what do you scale the figures at? They always seemed spot on to me.

Excellent poses, so a very handy set. Will these be released before or after the announced Soviet sapper team? ;-)

Brief note to MiniArt - you have now done British Photographers and Correspondents in 1/35th, could we please have some US Combat Photographers and Civilian Reporters?

You could even make a point of patterning the figures after famous known individuals such as Ernie Pyle, Robert Capra, George Stevens, Margret Borke-White, Russ Meyer and John Huston.

Now those I think I could use for Cold War figures. They have the button down blouse rather than the pullover type worn in WWII. The rest of the kit is almost generic to both periods.

Thanks Tat for the info and Thanks Richard for pointing out the uniform matter. But are these figures okay for a late WWII vignette ? Thanks for your help

The reporters were Bronco (set 35140)
But I agree some US correspondent team would be great!

Darn, you're right. My bad, but hopefully still a good idea.

Mid 1943 to 1968 or so this tunic was the Soviet uniform. Just source some Ak-47 pouches and you'd be good to go for Cold War.

LOVE the poses. More useful than "action" figures for most dios.
