Before shipping the figures off to Vancouver/Thailand, I decided to stick them before the camera and get a few pre-painting shots.

As has been my habit, I did some light prep work and glued the figures down to metal disks (which I find convenient for storage and transportation purposes).

The NKVD Command set comprises 8 figures:
- 4 leaders
- 2 standard bearers
- 2 radiomen

The mix and poses are reminiscent of the Command Summer Dress pack that we previously profiled, but differ in terms of equipment and faces.

All of the NKVD figures are wearing brimmed caps, for instance, and none of them are carrying blanket rolls...

All of the NKVD figures look suitably brave, which I'm sure will make Mother Russia proud...

The castings are clean, with almost no imperfections (there's a very slight mold mismatch on one of the arms, but not enough that I think anyone will ever notice).
