I love 'Evolution' figs and these are timed nicely given the plethora of modern Russian armour now coming onto the market and the relatively limited number of decent 1/35 figs available for modern Russian tankers.

Be nice as well if they followed these up with some figs of Russian parade dress AFV crews snapping a salute ala' those seen in footage of tanks rumbling past the Kremlin on May Day parades.

As for parade, I have this set which is very nice, more for WW2 or the first postwar years.

So far, all of Evolution's modern Russian tanker figures have been outstanding. Now if I could only find a reliable source that actually has any of them in stock...(sigh)...

Anybody got a source in the states?

I realize they are new and will not be in stock most places yet, but I will keep them in mind for a couple of newer Trumpeter projects.

Hoping to avoid international shipping costs if possible.

The Evolution website lists US distributors, but I have never (NEVER!) been able to find any of the modern Russian tanker figures in stock. Frustrating to say the least...

Sorry, should have mentioned that i had tried that already. Michigan Toy Soldier(??) i think was at AMPS East , Armorcon now, sorry.. And had many of their WWII figs but fewer of the modern ones, and none of the sci-fi "Stalker" ones i was looking for.
I guess i will just have to keep my eyes open and keep looking.

If you're having trouble sourcing them in the States, Steve Kirtley in the UK will sort you out.

He stocks the Evolution range and if you let him know what you want he will order direct from the manufacturer in Russia. Given that they are small/light, I would imagine that postal changes to the States wouldn't be ridiculously high.

I've bought figures off him many times and he is a great bloke to deal with.

Here's a link to his site

Well said- thats something that annoys me too- most of the modern Russian figures out there are wearing winter uniforms. Why can't we get some with temperate uniforms?
