OK, this one should get no complaints about her looks. This is Life Miniatures 1/16 Soviet Sniper. LM have made several versions of this figure in various scales, I assume using digital re-sizing, which has preserved an incredible amount of detail in the smaller versions.
I think she is perhaps rather too glamorous (she certainly wouldn't have had her hair down in the field), but there were some pretty female snipers:
Roza Shanina, Lyudmila Pavlichenko and Ziba DeNoise. I think our subject comes closest to Pavlichenko. Here are some 'ordinary' female snipers:
A bonny bunch. Here's my Verlinden figure, which is perhaps a more realistic depiction:
The box contents:
Quite a complicated assembly, with some dirty great casting blocks to remove. I'll have to experiment to see if it's worth leaving the cape off to painted separately.
