Soviet Skiers Historical Model Kit

Bring history to life with this highly detailed Soviet Skiers Historical Model Kit, perfect for collectors and military history enthusiasts. This model set captures the essence of Soviet ski battalions, which played a crucial role during World War II.

Historical Background:
The harsh climate of Russia made skis an essential means of winter transportation long before modern vehicles. During the Winter War and into 1941, ski battalions became vital for reconnaissance and flanking enemy positions. These units, composed of young and resilient individuals, excelled in skiing, marksmanship, and enduring extreme cold.

In Gaming:
In games like Art of Tactic, Soviet skiers are invaluable on winter maps. They move effortlessly through snow without penalties and cost only 13 points. However, they are vulnerable to tanks and lack long-range anti-tank capabilities.

Kit Includes:

• 5 unassembled and unpainted figurines
• Squad flag
• Assembly instructions

Find the unit's gaming stats under "ASSEMBLY AND PAINTING GUIDE" on this page. No glue required for assembly.
