MiniArt 35226 SOVIET ASSAULT INFANTRY (WINTER CAMOUFLAGE CLOAKS) 1/35

The MiniArt 35226 SOVIET ASSAULT INFANTRY (WINTER CAMOUFLAGE CLOAKS) model in 1/35 scale is a proposition aimed at modelers passionate about World War II themes and the Red Army’s military history. The set allows you to recreate a Soviet assault infantry unit equipped with winter camouflage capes known as “maskhalaty”, making it perfect for reconstructing winter frontline actions on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1945.

The set is produced by the renowned company MiniArt from high-quality plastic, ensuring excellent detail quality, particularly in replicating the folds of the winter fabric coats, as well as the fine details of equipment and weaponry. The set includes five figures of Soviet assault soldiers, all in characteristic winter camouflage cloaks – a highly distinctive element of Soviet assault units during the most intense winter battles on the Eastern Front, such as the battle of Stalingrad or the crossing of the Dnieper.

• Scale: 1/35
• Country: Soviet Union (USSR)

Historically, this set reflects the widely used winter camouflage coats worn by Soviet infantry, which effectively concealed assault actions against snow-covered landscapes. The figures faithfully represent both the weaponry and the realistic silhouettes of soldiers prepared for combat in harsh winter conditions.

The MiniArt 35226 model is intended for both intermediate and advanced modelers (assembly difficulty level – 3/5), due to the abundance of details and the precision required when gluing the equipment pieces. Highly recommended for building winter dioramas, expanding an Eastern Front collection, and for enthusiasts of realistic battle scenes.

As a model shop owner, I wholeheartedly recommend this MiniArt set – it offers great build quality, faithful historical accuracy, and huge potential for creative diorama arrangements. It is the perfect choice for expanding a World War II model collection!
