Inspired by a World War II photo, Vladimir Demchenko sculpted five RKKA - Raboche Krestyanskaya Krasnaya Armiya / Red Army Tanker figures in 1/35 scale to show the same scene on the photo.

After  B6-35138 RKKA Tank Crew - 1, the second kit of the series B635139 includes two tanker figures sitting on a wooden bench next to a campfire.  Figure-A is posed to light his cigarette with a burn wood and Figure-B shows a pose warming his heads on the fire.

Kit is served in standard BRAVO*6 cardboard box and content is secured seperately in zip lock bags. Figures are sculpted by Vladimir Demchenko in 1/35 scale and cast in grey resin. Quality is very good with no mistakes. A short cleanwork will be needed for the seamlines on the outer side of arms.

Figure-A wears traditional quilted army winter jacket - Telogreika, Sharovari trousers with reinforcement patches on the knees and  laced boots with cloth leggings. 

Figure-B has a sleeveless leather jacket over his Gymnastiorka shirt, baggy trousers and standard issue black leather jackboots. 

Facial features and tanker helmet details are well defined. Both wears TSh-4 canvas helmet with horizontal pad to the forehead , three padded ridges to the crown running front to back, pocket pouches to the ears for fitting the integral earphones and rear neck flap folded upwards.

Conclusion :Very nice two-figure kit to display as resting  tankers next to all kind of World War II Soviet vehicles. Great alikeness to reference photo, great sculpt, flawless cast. 

Thanks to BRAVO-6 for the review sample.

All figures of the company can be seen at BRAVO*6 website.
