Meet Mikhail...A work in progress

Riley1965 · 10-07-2006, 12:06 PM

Here's Mikhail, Captain Soviet Air Force. He's wearing the M1949 Transitional uniform. I still need to add the shirt and tie. I also have the trousers but have yet to buy a full size mannequin and shoes.
His Order of Glory, 3rd Class was earned as a Jr.Lt.
Enjoy,
Doc

Very nice! The M1949 air force uniforms are underappreciated!

Doc,

Glad to see that this uniform found a great new home, and that you are really taking great care of it!
By the way, what type of sword is on the wall behind MIkhail?

Great looking tunic Doc. It looks very good on display: Plus with other parts of your collection in the foto gives us a chance to see some other nice items in your collection. Like Marc mentioned; any information on the blade... Thanks Clete

Thanks to All!!! This Air Force uniform is my favorite. I look forward to putting it on a full size mannequin with shirt, tie & Shoes and socks. As for the Saber...It's a Model 1860 U.S. Cavalry Saber.

Enjoy,
Doc

Let's me introduce colonel Nikolaj and his girlfriend. Hello Michail, don't be lonely, Nikolaj wants to check your papers (hi is MVD Colonel)!

damn! nice indeed!!

are those awards awarded to that man or is the entire uniform constructed? (question is for mark)

Are the MVD uniform parts dated?
