This figure represents a Soviet VDV Assault Trooper with a SA-7 SAM in firing position and wears a Russian style full flak jacket and helmet.

Consisting of five parts in light cream resin, the quality of the casting is first class save for some minor seam lines on the inside of the legs which are easily cleaned up.

The main torso and legs are in one piece with separate arms, head with helmet and small weapons pack. The left arm is cast integrally with the SA-7 for a good ‘sit’ but care is required when removing the casting plugs from the missile to avoid damage.

The fabric folds in the fatigues are quite convincing and simple but effective facial features makes this is a nice figure of an unusual subject and easy to assemble and paint.

Recommended.
