That must be the first russian anti aircraft crew in plastic, and I hope more will follow.
They are rather stiff.

August 13 will be German anti aircraft crew.

Hey Juriko

Are any of these new Zvezda WW2 figures on sale yet ?

If so, do you know where I can buy them over the internet ?

[Juriko]

Large collections will be delayed until sold magazine series. Output of this year, is unlikely. Selling on the Internet - we must look Russian shops. I asked the representative of the "Zvezda" about sales in other countries in this series - He refused to answer. Nevertheless, he apologized, they keep it a secret.

[Juriko]

Officer of the company "Zvezda" confirmed that it was their "russian command staff"

[edchew]

Boy! these new zvezda series is getting better all the time. I gotta get me one of these sets!

[Dunc0127]

Anything to promote our hobbie is in the end I think is a good thing...

These are not my period of interest - and its not something I would buy now...but when I think back to the Atlantic sets...like the Colosseum or the Sphinx...and now they are collectors items - I saw many advertised for a few pounds back in the dark days before the internet...and didnt buy them

Just a thought

I must admit these don't look bad at all

[monty]

looks pretty good did the Russians use the bofors gun?

[-=panzer=-]

did the Russians use the bofors gun?

It isnt a bofors, but a sowiet 37mm 61-k aa gun.

[monty]

did the Russians use the bofors gun?

It isnt a bofors, but a sowiet 37mm 61-k aa gun.

oops but that gun itself was inspired by the bofors and looks similar

[musketier]

I wouldn't be surprised if its a Soviet copy of the Bofors design Monty, a lot of countries (probably still do ) purchase a few of a certain model and either copy it outright or purchase a license to manufacture. I just looked up this weapon and it indeed was a Soviet version of the Bofors design, they used it for divisional AA at the start of WW2.

Ya know... at the risk of being the Devil's Advocate, I say there IS still plenty of room and need for WWII figures! Nevermind the japanese have been grossly overlooked... and nevermind these, I believe, are listed as "Kursk period" ( Summer '43)...
What about casualties? There is an astounding LACK of casualties that seems ridiculous when one stops to think about WHAT war IS! Not just dead, either. Or dead in a variety of disfigured, and grotesque manners and positions. Wounded? Buddies helping the comrades? Comforting them? I realize there are a handful of these poses out there, but still... converting can get tiresome!
Medics? Field personnel? Other support personnel? Runners? Snipers? Sappers, Engineers?
And my latest "cause celbre".... hand to hand combat! Granted, in this late age of the firearm, where there is so much distanced combat... but still, in bitter city confines such as Kharkov, Arnhem, Stalingrad, Berlin, DDay along the beaches, well, you get the idea... it did, and still does happen!
Now these guys from Zvezda in particular? There sculpting is really great usually, but "scale creep" is getting them better of them ( read: Egyptians that are gorgeous, but virtual giants!)... and what the hell is going on with the little mountains they are mounted on? As a dio builder, I clip all bases anyway... but they just look goofy!
