Vympel New Figuress
Amazing Detail !!!!
Wow!! I love the details on these figures; especially the tripods for the gunners.
I wish someone would do Wild West figures of this quality. Maybe Austin Miniatures will come through with more of those great 54mm cowboys he made.
Excuse me – bipods that is!!
I doubt that Austin Miniatures will do any larger figures. They were very negative by the response to their figure offfering.
Where can one purchase these figures?
We have no sources for these figures at this time. As soon as we know it will be posted here.
Sculpting looks great. Russian mountain troops are a great addition to the world of 1:32nd figures.
Anyway can’t help to identify the machine gun of German Gunner.
Closest I can find is the Austrian (or Austro-Hungarian) Steyr/Schwarzlose M. 07/12.
In German use also as sMG 247 (j) and sMG 261 (i). Not really common for frontline units and kind of unusual. Wonder if the real thing switches over to MG 34 or 42.
After extra checking its closer to MG 08/15. A weapon that was maybe in use till 1941 but after that rather made it to the hands of Volkssturm miltia than other combat troops.
At least a first time edition in German WW 2 hands.
Artist may had taken liberty to do figures with not common weapons such MP 28/II depicted in other figures and this to made then more unique ,lets not forget most of these new Russian makers sale figures very expensive more like mini statues plastic -resin figures and they like made them in unique poses else .Early WSS units often got hand in second hand weapons not used by HERR or authorized mass produced by HERR dept armament well till late 1942 when Hitler order to supply most WSS with top line produced weapons .From 1939-1942 you can see early war footage of SS personnel using a complete array of old and foreign weapons in many war documentary .Yet the figure apparently depicted is late 1943 as boots looks a M43 Low Boots with Gamaschen ,most not supplied to front line till mid/late 1943 by them such MG would be even more rare .Yet not impossible .
Above are the most exciting offerings I’ve seen in years!
MOUNTAIN TROOPS!!!! YA!!!!
