Scale and historical usage

Made in the popular 1/35 scale, this model allows for perfect integration with vehicles and figures of the same scale. Checkpoints of this type were commonly used in many European countries and the Soviet Union from World War II up to modern times. Guard booths, blockades, and sandbags appeared wherever there was a need to protect important military facilities, border crossings, intersections, and bridges. For example, similar checkpoints could be found on the Eastern Front during WWII and in occupation zones.
