ICM 35640 - 1/35 Soviet Tank Riders (1943-1945) Overview

The ICM 35640 set depicts Soviet tank riders from 1943 to 1945 in 1/35 scale, supplying four figures that reflect the uniform styles and equipment of the era. This set is aimed at modellers who value historically informed figure work and accurate small-scale characterisation.

Historical Role and Modelling Potential

Tank riders were a practical wartime solution for infantry support during armoured advances, and the poses in this set help recreate those interactions. Careful painting and fitting allow these figures to complement popular 1/35 armour kits when recreating Eastern Front scenes.

Construction Guidance and Finishing Tips

Injection-moulded components give crisp detailing and straightforward assembly. Trim and clean parts before gluing, use a primer suited to plastic, then apply layered paints and washes to achieve the period look appropriate for 1943-1945 Soviet kit.

Yes, the sculpted stances aim to reflect common real world positions and interactions observed in wartime photography, suitable for historical modelling.
Layered base coats, selective highlighting, subtle washes and light chipping can all add depth. Reference period photos help guide accurate weathering and colour choices.
Modellers may trim or re-pose limbs and add extra stowage or straps to match specific units. Small conversions are feasible with hobby knives and pinning techniques.
