Mars – 72143 – Ukrainian Defenders Set II

Description:

Unpainted plastic soldiers in 1/72 scale depicting contemporary Ukrainian infantry.

Box contains 40 figures in 8 different poses. Two of the poses are included twice in the sprue as you can see below. Continuation of the work started with Mars – 72138 – Ukrainian Defenders with a similar quality, good enough quality, for a very contemporary topic as the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine since 2022.

The number of poses is bit short, but they are diverse with a diverse range of weapons. Of particular interest here are the drone operator, in a pose just about to release a small reconnaissance drone, or the pose operating the MANPADS (portable antiaircraft). Also of attention is for the pose using a semi-automatic grenade launcher, which we can’t identify, but could be a Polish RGP-40 or could be other model, as several present a similar design which would be difficult to difference in 1/72 scale as the South African Milkor MGL which is confirmed to be operated by Ukrainian forces.
