I am looking for replicas of Russian/Soviet armor, specifically metallic collectibles.

1. Does such a thing exist? Not unbuilt kits, but 1:1 (in terms of details ) collectible replicas, made of metal.

2. If so, are there any companies in Russia that manufacture this?

Thanks in advance!

Why not buy the real deal. Very good prices in the 1990's. Shipping overseas is the kicker!

Your best bet is to look on eBay.

However, the only things I see on there that are made of Metal are either older kids toys or else desk top paper weights...but nothing with any real detail.

I had a series of 1/43(?) scale Soviet armor pieces that included a BRDM-2, BTR-60 or 70 and an SU of some type. Less detail than the Soldio diecast metal vehicles. They came from the Soviet Union before the fall.
