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......

Can the moderators remove the crass, infantile comments on here made by b2nhvi please?
For most of us on here this is a hobby and not a forum for racists
