It's not a surprise this set (we had details of it back in february) but now Miniart's Soviet Naval Infantry are due for imminent release.
Apart from some (superb) resin figures, Soviet Naval Infantry have been generally ignored by the manufacturers. This is, when you look at just how involved they were in the battles of the Easten Front, seems a grave oversight. Playing a large part in significant battles such as the Siege of Leningrad or Sevastopol, along with taking part in many river crossings whilst fighting on board the many large river craft used by the Soviets, this is a rather 'glaring' ommission...

Their 'absence' has now been corrected by the Russian manufacturer, MiniArt Limited in the shape of:

35043 - SOVIET NAVAL TROOPS This is a five-figure, hard plastic set in 1/35th scale. Going by the photos alone, this looks to be a very nice addition indeed to one of the most imaginative companies in the market...

These look really excellent and will be a welcome addition for those who model in this genre. MiniArt have released some of the most interesting and useful figures I've seen this year in plastic injection. Al

Again MiniArt has put out a Figure kit which is not only original but highly lifelike. I have all of the MiniArt kits so far, and the ones I don’t, have been on pre-order. I thing most people like the casual poses instead of the Fighting ones since most of the time you are not fighting. Keep up the great work MiniArt, and keep um coming. ED

Hi diorama.ru is a great site, full of some excellent models by skilled model makers. I always pop over to see what's new. The link I have to it brings in the English language version, so I assume they run in tandem. The review is there but without text, I guess they've not got round to translating it yet, but the pictures are there. One for the Bookmarks. Alan

I like the actual figures better than the box art depictions. Although they are bulky looking, the guy who paints for Minart does a great job. He weathers them nicely and gives them much character! Even used in a small figure scene, these are appealing as they look different!
