Red Army - Review of Plastic Soldier 28mm

I purchased a box of plastic 28mm Russian WWII soldiers in summer uniform from The Plastic warrior Company.

The first thing I notice is that you get 57 figures for £18.50.

Good grief, that's 33p each......

There are three sprues, giving six leaders, 45 riflemen/smg men and six LMG teams.

The figures are not multiposable, they are mostly one piece, but they are in hard plastic (Not polyethylene, thank the Lord). You have to supply your own bases.

They are decently indented and respond well to a wash. The results are not brilliant but OK, actually bloody good for 33p.




Above is a section of Tank Riders and, below, a rifle section with medic girl.


This is an amazing way of putting together an acceptable army quickly and cheaply. Highly recommended.

    Dear Shaun
    Anything that stays still long enough is painted - including the rabbit.
