3rd Bn,1st Regt Soviet Rifle Division 1943-45

Leaving armour behind for a wee bit we move on to the 3rd Rifle Battalion which will be the last in this Regimental formation. Typical Soviet Regiments were two Battalions by late 1944 and understrength, so my next Regiment may be just two Battalions. Above a Rifle Company of two Platoons. Mix of Revell, ESCI and Italeri, with the Revell sniper being a nice pose along with the Italeri loader of the DP.
2nd Company of the Battalion, again with the usual mix of figures. The Italeri rifleman on the left is well posed and proportioned.
Third Company with that pesky DP set up by Italeri.
Battalion Command stands. "Comrades, will we ever get tired of pointing our revolvers in the air!"
