Best? I own almost all of them and my favorite russians are battlefield
battlefieldminiatures.co.uk
Probably the only one he didnt list.
shq are nice but small for 1/72
the pegasus plastic sets are nice.
if you want to use plastics as well I would go with battle models- previously fantassin. They are taller and so are elheim. |

I agree with Simo. I have many mfgs but Battlefield are my favorite. |

Don't forget Plastic Soldier Company. Probably a full 2/3 of my Soviets are PSC – cheap, easy to assemble, little to no flash, and fit in well with other ranges like Elhiem and Warmodelling. ~iPaint |

Probably a full 2/3 of my Soviets are PSC Yes, someone here mentioned that recently, go very well with the venerable AB minis? @genew49: Thanks for the looong list of links. Just making the transition to 20mm after (too) many years of 15mm. Eyesight and knuckles are demanding the change. From what I have learned from this thread the last few weeks 20mm is a vast treasure of goodies! 
PS – What is the distinction regarding PSC "Redbox"? TIA… |

I would have to say the FAA ones are the best on the market, I have 3 RF infantry brigades, 2 are finished the other is still in undercoated or bare metal mode. The Battlefield Stalingrad Defenders are lovely and mix well with FAA |

number4: PSC Red box are 20mm, black box are 15mm…. Good packaging strategy, clear shelf recognition on "messy" shop shelves.  Thanks.
