Bolt Action Soviet Winter Infantry 40 Miniatures Plastic Model Kit

The Bolt Action Soviet Winter Infantry is a plastic model kit designed for historical wargaming enthusiasts. It represents Soviet Union infantry soldiers equipped for combat during the harsh winter conditions of the Eastern Front in World War II. The set allows hobbyists to build and paint a substantial force for tabletop battles, focusing on the resilience of the common Soviet soldier, often referred to as 'Ivan' by German forces. The kit contains enough components to assemble 40 individual infantry miniatures. These figures are depicted in specialised cold-weather gear, including padded and quilted uniforms developed after the Red Army's experiences in Finland. A key feature is the host of weapon options provided, allowing for the customisation of squads with different roles. Included weapons are the Mosin-Nagant rifle (available scoped, with bayonet, or without), the PTRD anti-tank rifle, various submachine guns (PPS-43, PPSh-41, and PPD-40), the Mosin-Nagant carbine, the DP-28 light machine gun, and the Tokarev semi-automatic rifle. The set also includes parts to create command models, such as officers and NCOs. This product is ideal for modellers and wargamers interested in the Bolt Action game system or historical World War II dioramas. The miniatures are supplied unpainted and unassembled, providing a blank canvas for hobbyists to apply their painting and modelling skills. Building this unit offers a tangible connection to the historical narrative of stoic soldiers enduring extreme conditions. It is a practical way to expand a Soviet army collection with thematically cohesive troops suited for winter battle scenarios.
