Trumpeter 00436 Afghan Rebels 1/35 – plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 00436 Afghan Rebels model in 1:35 scale is a unique set of figures depicting Afghan rebels, perfect for complementing dioramas from the era of modern armed conflicts. The set is a high-quality offering for all fans of historical modeling and for those passionate about 20th and 21st-century warfare.

Historical information

The figures depict characteristic fighters from Central Asia, mainly used during the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan (1979–1989), as well as during later conflicts—the so-called civil war period in the 1990s and military operations after 2001. Afghan rebels played a key role in a conflict known as the “Soviet Vietnam,” which led to profound geopolitical changes in the region.

Examples of using these figures in dioramas include realistic scenes featuring Soviet armored vehicles, American helicopters, or international coalition forces. This is an excellent base for recreating the atmosphere of operations in the Hindu Kush mountains, especially from the Cold War period and modern times.
