Interesting, shouldn’t the legs be a little thicker so the belt undercut isn’t so dramatic?

I appreciate MiniArt doing Cold War and modern subjects particularly tank crews. I like these figures and will purchase 2 boxes of these figures.

Pretty darned nice for injection molding! IMHO, I don't think that the legs being a bit smaller than the torso should matter much. All of the figures look like they are designed to be inside a tank and the undercut shouldn't be seen. It could of been a little better though.

totaly getting some of these! I have been looking for this era figs in cold weather gear for a T-64A I did a few years ago.
I wonder if Miniart will be doing some other "Warsaw Pac" figures for the 70's-80's? Yeah, granted they will look much like the standard Soviet guys, but there could be some differences.
I would also love to see some NATO tank crews from the 80's (such as some for a STRV103)

Good point.
