From the outset this feels very much like a DID release.
Good quality box, shrink wrapped in cellophane with two DID-like holographic approval or quality control stickers:
Unfortunately the lid doesn't remove entirely to reveal a characteristic DID photographic backdrop:
A quick glance through the contents and everything appears well made...
...apart from the TT-33 pistol, which is diecast in a uniform pewter colour and without any moving parts. It's reminiscent of something that ought to be hanging from a keyring rather than included in a higher end 1/6 military set. It's nothing more than a holster stuffer unless repainted black (i.e blued gunmetal).
This is my 1953 dated TT-33 for comparison (post war narrower slide grips):
Sculpt has good painting, even when hit with the flash:
Unlike DID the collar insignia is already applied to the tunic and leather coat:
One of the tunic stickers had been applied at the wrong angle, but it peeled off easily for replacement.
Other badges and insignia are in a series of zip lock bags stapled together exactly in the manner of DID.
The main unform event for me is the flight suit:
It doesn't disappoint. Well padded, with a fur lining the torso which feels like it extends down to the thighs.
As with the leather coat it has working buttons, so if you don't have a DID button hook it's going to be fiddly.
The legs of the boots are also constructed with furry material, black outside, white inside.
I'm going to try and make a Night Witch using a TB League S18A, which is a tall, broad shouldered female body.
The gymnastyorka and breeches looks like they'd swamp a Pop Toys scaled female body, so I'll probably have to leave the non-flying figure as is, and add the first male to the Red Army ranks.
