Trumpeter 00433 - 1/35 Soviet Soldier Afghan War Model Kit - Military Figure Special Edition  [TP00433]

Scale Figure Representing Soviet Forces

The Trumpeter 1/35 Soviet Soldier Afghan War model kit recreates a Soviet infantryman from the Afghan conflict with attention to kit and uniform detail, meant for modellers comfortable with figure work. The sculpting captures folds, straps and equipment in a compact 1/35 format.

Context and Collector Interest

The 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War introduced varied field gear and camouflage approaches that appeal to military modellers. This figure helps illustrate that period and complements vehicle or infantry group displays from the same era.

Painting Strategy and Display Advice

Careful priming, thin paint layers and targeted weathering will enhance the small-scale textures. Consider pinning arms or hands during assembly for robust joints, and display on a simple vignette to highlight the figure's character.
