Must buy!

Looks great! The distribution of weapons simply impeccable (the paratroopers had much more automatic weapons and self-loading rifles (aka semi-automatic rifles) than the other troops. There were many PPD submachine guns, since it is more compact than the PPSh-41). A great idea is to make the fighters in jumping overalls).

But there are a few nuances for those who want to make their fighters in more detail. If you want your Red Army paratroopers to look authentic, you will have to cut the headphones off the helmets and putty/ change the lines on the helmet. A Soviet soft helmet for jumping during the Great Patriotic War looked like this https://www.dmazay.ru/index.php?productID=7607
If you want to diversify the set and make some of the heads in officer caps (do not forget that the officer's cap must have an Air Force cockade) or helmets or forage-caps (available on the sprues of the Red Army infantry), this will not be a mistake. Paratroopers often fought in camouflage suits of the "amoeba" pattern - you can take a set of Soviet scouts for conversions, this will be an excellent addition to this set. buttonholes on the collars of jump overalls should be blue (the paratroopers of the Red Army belonged to the Air Force), pockets on the thighs of overalls should be on both legs. Bits from the sprues of the Soviet infantry or from other figures (sidor duffel bags, sapper shovels, pouches, etc.) will greatly revive this cool basic set. We must buy!
