Plastic model kit: Soviet infantry (winter uniforms 1941-1942) 1:72 Zvezda 6197

A set of figures depicting Soviet infantry soldiers in winter uniforms from the 1941-1942 period. The models were developed in 1:72 scale and are part of the Art of Tactic strategic game system, but they will also work perfectly as standalone elements for historical dioramas.

The Soviet Army was well-prepared for the winter conditions of the turn of 1941 and 1942. Soldiers were equipped with warm clothing, including sheepskin coats, felt boots (valenki), and white camouflage suits (maskhalats), which gave them a significant operational advantage over German troops during the Battle of Moscow. Experience in conducting operations in a harsh climate allowed for the effective repulsion of the "Typhoon" offensive.

• Scale: 1:72
• Number of figures: 5 unpainted characters
