Soviet Reconnaissance Soldiers 1941-1943 Model Kit

Soviet Reconnaissance Soldiers 1941-1943 - a historically accurate model kit for collectors and enthusiasts.

Historical Background: In 1941, Soviet frontline reconnaissance was well-equipped but lacked combat experience. German counterintelligence had more experience, making it difficult for Soviet scouts to gather critical information. Poor analytical work often delayed vital intelligence from reaching command centers. However, after setbacks near Kiev and Moscow, Soviet reconnaissance improved significantly by 1942, minimizing enemy surprises. By late 1942, Soviet scouts operated with precision, uncovering enemy flanks and capturing valuable prisoners.
