The ICM 35601 Soviet Tank Crew (1979-1988) figure set features precisely recreated models of Soviet tank crew in the popular 1:35 scale, designed by the renowned company ICM. This set is dedicated to modelers building dioramas, recreating Cold War era scenes, as well as collectors focused on Soviet military subjects. The figures are based on authentic uniforms and equipment patterns of Soviet tankers who served in the armed forces of the Soviet Union from 1979 to 1988.

Historical Information and Usage

The period 1979–1988 saw the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, as well as intensive exercises and modernization of Warsaw Pact forces. Soviet tank crews, operating vehicles such as the T-62, T-72, and T-80, served both on the front lines and during maneuvers within the USSR and its Eastern Bloc satellite states. These figures are a perfect addition to late 20th-century Soviet armored vehicle models. They work excellently in dioramas depicting scenes from Afghanistan or Cold War training grounds.
