1st Bn Weapons Coy,1st Regt Soviet Rifle Division 1943-45

The rest of the first Battalion in today's post. I much appreciated the feedback from the last post. Today we have the Headquarters and Weapons Company which is almost as large as the three Rifle Companies. Above the Anti Tank rifle stand with a conversion for the PTRS-41, due to the fact I do not have many poses for these stands I had to come up with some more. I simply cut down a DP LMG and attached a pin for the barrel. Simple but fairly effective from a distance viewing anyway...
82mm M37 Mortar stand. Both figures from the later Italeri Winter set. Just a cut away mortar from the old ESCI set. The original one is actually attached to the figure and a little lame. Cut away it is much improved I think.
First of the two MMG stands. Both with the PM M1910 Maxim, above the standard Revell pose.
And the last MMG stand with the ESCI offering. Pretty strong Weapons Company really, which should make up for the weak Infantry forces...I hope.

  1. These look more like Cross Fire bases. :)

    Good call on the Esci Mortar.

    Very inspirational :)

  2. Cheers for the comments Stan, I think the basing is quite similar for Crossfire although I have never tried it.

    Do you have a online catalog?

    Cheers Paul
