hello guys, Im looking for a single soviet figure, ( early war.) that is in a dynamic pose, shooting, pointing, yelling.
Im looking to use the figure to support an advancing t-26.

There are plenty available depending on whether you want resin or plastic. Off the top of my head I can suggest Tank (TAHK) models for resin, and to be more economical, Masterbox, in plastic.

hey Biggles, either is ok, ,a slight preference for resin, but if i can find something great in plastic i wont be too fussy..
I had a browse on the tank models page, and nothing jumped out as a perfect fit, there was a great evolution figure, being a soviet officer, but unfortunately, it lent itself to 1919.

You have a couple options for early war troops, I just did this myself:
Tamiya makes a set of Soviet Assault Infantry that goes up to 1942

Masterbox makes a set of Soviet Infantry in Action

I haven't seen the Masterbox figures in person yet, but they are normally pretty good, but I did get some hornet heads just in-case.

I got the Tank Tanker figure set in yesterday, and I found out they are later war (post 43), but the guy in the coveralls just needs his shoulders reshaped slightly to get rid of the shoulder boards.
