Build review: MiniArt's new #35108 "Soviet Infantry" set.

Miniart’s news sets of “Special Edition” figures steadily impress me more and more as we get a chance to make them – we have reviewed two of these sets already  this month – one set needed work and the other was really very good – what would this release – very similar in concept to their last kit of Soviet Naval troops be like?

MiniArt tries not to go off the rails with their two new kits – It looks like we need an extension..

In a lot of ways, MiniArt is living up to their slogan of “Always Innovate.” With their new 72nd and 16th scale figures and dioramas, their vac-form-based scenery kits, and now new tooled vehicles, which no one else wanted to do but changing the game and doing them very well—they sure are doing what they set out to achieve. Now their second injection-moulded tram is on time and on track to arrive early this year (oh, and those wanting extra track, we have something for you.)
