Hello folks,

i have to ask for your help again. For the same vignette I need the russian Maxim MG I'm also in need of a russian prisoner in 1/35.

Do you know which company produces russian captives in summer uniform from around 1941-43. The thought any eastern europe company like Masterbox or Miniart had some in their range, but after checking their online catalog there was none to be found.

Vladimir Demchenko has a few nice figures in hisa 1941 diorama.


Does someone know about the figures' origin.

Thx in advance

ICM Kit#35391 'Operation Barbarossa June, 22, 1941' has a captured Russian tank crewman in it. Plus two of the Germas will go well 'herding' the prisoners.

HTH.

Thx Eric, that set looks promising, but unfortunatly I'm in need of infantry-based figures. The "guards" are already represented by DML's updated "Panzergrenadierdivision Grossdeutschland set.

David, I already did that, but after checking his last login date 14 days ago, he maybe not that kind of a frequent forum user.
Vladimir's diorama should also be only an example. I'm still interested in alternatives.

Patrick -

Not sure how much help this will be but I've seen a couple figures that might work for you. They're resin and it sounds like you're more interested in the sets (understandable with costs). Any of these could work as a 'focal figure' with other regular figures backing up scene. Anyway, Warriors (#1318) has a Russian pulling a Maxim MG and Verlinden has a set (#1318, 'The Surrender') with Waffen SS & a Russian surrendering. Hope this helps some.
