“Soviet Soldier, 1945”

From Stalingrad Miniatures

Kit No. 603

1/16th scale

One figure in light grey resin

Sculpted & box art by Alexander ZelenkovThis figure was inspired by several photos of Soviet soldiers from the last year, months, and days of WWII. Below are photos of the soldiers in woollen jackets and with PPSh sub-machine gun and wooden but. They also wear thick boots. The inspiration:

This series of photos, taken from Soviet-occupied Europe in late WWII/1945. Many of these men are reminiscent of the Soviet soldier, wearing

ushanka fur hats, thick woollen coats, and leather boots. They are either seen with other soldiers in their unit or leading refugees back to safety after the war. We would have liked to see the dog there. He is wearing the same gear as this figure, with a good view of the rear. This man looks surprisingly like the figure. This figure is wearing the exact same clothing as the man in the picture. A view shows several Soviet soldiers wearing the very same clothes as the person shown. They are marching towards the center of Budapest following their triumph. The figure “Soviet Soldier 1945” from Stalingrad Miniatures

His bread bag strap and PPsH are also folding and pulling his heavy coat. The painted version is also Alexander Zelenkov. You can also see him smoking one of those fat russian cigarettes (that smelled like death, I always say). The rear of this figure shows the folded coat, the tight clothing around the gun straps and his bread bag, and even the wrinkles in his eyes. You can see these and other Alexander works on the
