About this kit
The winter of 1941 saw the Red Army halt the German advance on Moscow and launch its first major counteroffensive of the war, fought in brutal sub-zero conditions that shaped both sides' tactics and equipment. This figure set depicts Soviet infantrymen dressed for that winter fighting, wrapped in white-quilted telogreika jackets, ushanka fur hats, and valenki felt boots over their standard uniforms.
Dragon's 1/35 sculpting renders the bulky layered winter clothing convincingly, with natural folds and creases in the padded garments, while equipment such as slung Mosin-Nagant rifles, ammunition pouches and entrenching tools is finely detailed in its own right.
The set provides multiple figures in a range of active combat poses, suitable for a winter 1941-42 Moscow counteroffensive diorama or as crew and infantry support for a Soviet armour display of the period.
An essential set for anyone building an Eastern Front winter scene, capturing a pivotal and visually striking moment of the war.
