Hi, all. It's been a long time since my last visit, but I have run into a snag with my latest project and I need help. Can anybody point me toward a manufacturer, who produces decent 1/35 scale modern Russian figures? I am especially in need of a suitable truck driver figure. I'm working on a diorama, which shall feature an Ural-4320 truck and a BTR-80. The location is the Northern Caucasus during 1995-96 (First Chechen War).

Thanks!

Hi,

Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

Thanks, Peter, it's almost there but not quite right. I'm looking for eight infantryman figures plus crews for an Ural-4230 and a BTR-80, in summer uniforms. This is what I get for being picky ... :-)

These guys are from Afghanistan war, but they might be of use...

Also look at Tank modern Russian offerings:

You can get Tank figures at Colorado Miniatures.

Hope it helps,

Hi, Mario! Long time, no see -- what's new and exciting for you?

Thanks for the links. Those Rest figures are terrific and, if they're wearing the M88 field uniform, I might be able to use them. The Tank figures are gorgeous, too.

Hi Brad, can you beleive I didn't notice it was your posting? Good to see you, man!

Anyway, I'm glad to help. If you need more detailed pictures of those Rest figures let me know. I think I have them saved on my PC... Hey, I just saw your email; I'll reply as soon as I get back from work.

Talk to you soon,
Mario.
