Useful, and really well painted. But do Afgan adults have such large hands?

I am really impressed with Miniarts' effort to produce kits that are being sought out by modelers. Lots of diorama accessories not seen before in the market. Saving us of a lot of scratch building time. Keep up the good work.

I was impressed by the painting as well - The stripes, the scarves.
What I find somewhat incorrect is the the Shalwar Kameez is purchased as a set, much like a western men's suit. I never saw them being worn as a mismatched set in Afghanistan, in the same manner that you'd be unlikely to mix and match suit jackets and trousers in the US. Yes, you can do a Google search and find higher end tunic versions being worn by Pakistani models, and I'm sure it makes for a more interesting paint job, but never actually saw such a practice first hand.

"But do Afgan adults have such large hands?" Probably. No Trump DNA in that "Shithole" country......

I guess that the kid's book (?) could be modified to look like an IPad... surprised that no one has a cell phone though...
