Title: Sources of 15mm scale Soviets?
Post by: Bako on 01 August 2011, 06:15:51 AM

Hello all!

I'm scoping out the potential for a project, and am at a loss for Soviet infantry of the 15mm scale, ranging the years from the late forties through to the Soviets in Afghanistan. I figure WWII Russians won't be hard to come by, but am without similar thoughts in relation to Afghanistan.

Mainly looking for troops with bedrolls across their chests, a few wedges (though mostly helmets), and figures from the time when the AK-47 assault rifle became available.

For the modern stuff QRF do some and Quality Castings. Eureka are due to launch a very modern range soon but they may be too late for your use.

There was a small company that did a specific range for the Afghan war but I can't remember the name and I think they went under years ago.

QRF and Peter Pig have all you need for the USSR in the 1917-1991 era: Russian Civil War (Peter Pig), WWII (Peter Pig and QRF) and 1970's-1980's (Peter Pig and QRF). Plus tons of vehicles (especially by QRF)!
