Russian hussar officer

I am slightly unsure about the uniform on this figure, please let me know if you notice any inaccuracies.

Most are designed for “late war”, that is 1944-45. Those figures most often have the low boots with gaiters, they have mp44s, panzerfaustsContinue reading “Germans for the battle of Kursk 1943”
