Hello everyone,

I'm building a small vignette of an abandoned Zil-131 in 1/72, I'm trying to find a figure, either civilian or Soviet soldier from the 1980's/90's that would ideally be looking at the truck, but walking along would be just as fine. Can someone suggest any appropriate figures in that size? I believe that I could possibly use some of the figures in the Airfix RAF personnel set with very minor modifications. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Ian

Hi Henri-Pierre,

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't find any figures that would fit that well in my vision for the vignette, but after some further research I decided to get this kit, which besides giving me a few ideas will have a bunch of rather useful spares left over:

It's a bit of a pain having to get it from either Ukraine or the US, but nothing's ever perfect
