I have never seen these in 28mm, only in Micro scale from GHQ……or in the movie Ice Station Zebra : )

If it were me, I'd go with Baker Company's excellent Winter War range. Frex: link But the Finns from the same range are largely armed with Moisin-Nagants and DPs for added variety: link . You might be able to use some the Battle Honors Finns as well: link To my eye it's hard to differentiate a Suomi SMG from a PPD -- eh, that's assuming you want early-war Russians.

Edit: Fiddlesticks, I see the Russians aren't available until October. You might email them and ask if they have any of their old Finns available. I have a few and they're very nice.

Battle Honours makes them. I have a pack of them that I've been trying to get rid of (bought some packs thinking I would do a project and never got to it).

They are nice figs, but slightly shorter than crusader, artizan, etc.

Could Brigade Games Finns perhaps be used? They have Mosins and Suomis (very similar looking to the PPSH). Perhaps swap a few heads?

Also, please forgive my clumsy fingers for typing "how" instead of "who."
