That kinda looks German WW2, or am I mistaken?

[MilanWG]

Same design roughly, the Soviet's used that design right until the end, and the Russians still issue them today.

Added some more stuff... I don't think I have cataloged half the stuff I own...

[beastor]

Awesome display's there guys, some beautiful kit on display in your collections.

[Coma]

Why do Lifchiks and RD-54s always look so beat up? Even the ones claimed as being in good condition still look like hell to me.

Either way, nice kits guys.

[Texas]

because they are so... the sense of soviet uniform and equipment is to be cheap in order to have them enough for a big army..

[beastor]

Well, thats true up to a point, but its also due to the fact that the RD-54 isn't made anymore, and most of the specimens are quite old and would have had a lot of use.

Update.

Increased photo quality and combined some photos.

[Conscript]

Excellent photos!
