hi,

Soon, I'm gonna start a diorama with a Russian T/80U. I tell later how it's gonna look.

The problem is I can't find any good kits. So, I need Soviet tankers from the '80's or '90's on 1:35th. Resin and plastic are both ok. When it's possible, I'm looking for a kit with a couple of tankers thinking: Yep, what now? They don't know what to do anymore. Or Russian tankers bailing out.

Could you help me?

Lars

look at www.tank-model.ru and blast online shop groeten henk

Searched both. Could only find a couple of tank crews resting.

Thanks anyway.

Lars

Still can't find anything. i think I leave the figs away or gonna make a what if?

DML used to do a Soviet tank crew for their T-72 and T-80, but I'm talking years ago - I picked a set a good 10 years back, and still have it my stash. You might find it under the DML-Shangai (sp?) range of figures.

That said, I don't recall having seen having seen any post-WW2 Soviets (any post WW2 Soviets) at rest. You may want to consider converting either a WW2 kit by updating the unifroms and replacing the heads, or by converting a modern crew by relaxing them.

No sooner said, than...

Mario Matijasic has just reviewed some figures from the First Chechen war. Although labeled as tank riders, these lads could easily be used in a more relaxed scene as well.

Hi Lars, MiniArt makes a T-80 light tank with a crew. They are in relaxed poses reading a map. The item # is 35038.http://www.miniart-models.com/. Hope this helps.....Vince

Thanks guys.

The masterclub figures are ideal. I can make them look sitting lonely waiting for a vehicle to pick them up.

I shall look where to but them. You really helped me a lot.
