Just a quick experiment really … I swapped on a few ushanka heads and painted some of the new Piggie scouts in snow camo …
Now mostly the Red Army’s snow suits were one-piece coveralls with the equipment under the suit (2-piece suits on the Eastern Front seem generally Finnish or German ..) … but these paras show there were variants …

So here’s the result of the experiment, ready for Chris’s next NQM retreat from Moscow.
(Peter Pig 15mm Red Army Scouts with head swaps and white suits)
I think it works quite well and expands upon my ski troops. Hopefully, in time, Martin will make some new packs in the more familiar voluminous coverall. I would buy some.
The truck in the background is one of the new Piggie resin models. Looks good I think.
I’m happy with that experiment. The force expands.
