@cuprum
Thanks for all the info mate!
It's not really easy to find reliable sources on the Soviet kit, I guess I'll have to invest and buy a proper book..
'Enemy At The Gates' and an old box of toy soldiers are admittedly not the best sources  ;)



I am in the process of changing the coats to khaki..fits in much better with my other troops anyways  8)

Cheers

Suetonius Paullinus, I will always be happy to give the necessary information on Russian uniform on any time in history.

Some information can be found on my forum: http://siberia-miniatures.ru/forum/showforum.php?fid=13

You've made an excellent job of these figures  :) Can I ask which pigment/brand it is you use on the helmets? It creates a really nice effect!

Top job.  :D

The paintwork really gives the impression that they've been fighting their way through the ruins.

Very nice painting in this thread.
