About the Tamiya 35207 - 1/35 Russian Army Assault Infantry WWII Model Kit

The Tamiya 35207 model kit offers a detailed representation of the Russian Army Assault Infantry during World War II. This period was marked by significant challenges and strategic innovations, particularly in the Russian Armed Forces' approach to mechanized warfare. The Ground Forces, which constituted the majority of the military strength, had to rapidly adapt to the losses inflicted by the German forces.

One of the unique tactics employed by the Russian Army was the use of infantry riding on tanks, a practice known as "Tankoviy Desant." This model kit captures the essence of these strategies with high-precision figures that reflect the historical uniforms and gear, including the iconic "Gymnastiorka" and the later-introduced "Telogreika" quilted jackets.

This 1/35 scale kit is not just a static display piece; it offers an engaging build experience that reflects the historical context of the Russian counter-offensive strategies. The figures are intricately designed to showcase the typical equipment and attire of Russian infantrymen, providing a realistic portrayal that is both educational and visually compelling for serious collectors and history enthusiasts.

Display Value and Collector Insights

Its detailed figures and historically accurate uniforms make it a standout piece that can be displayed alongside other WWII models, enhancing the narrative of wartime innovation and resilience.
