A closer look at the model kit contents : 

The main uses of a Cossack regiment in WWII would have been for scouting and as mounted infantry. For a dramatic pose, the set includes a couple of men apparently at the charge, sabres drawn, which was not typical, but was not unknown. The other poses with men riding and holding firearms are more suitable. One man is dismounted and holding his horse, though there are no other dismounted poses, which is regrettable.

For all divisions of the Soviet Cavalry, most of the uniform was the same. All the men wear the wool kubanka hat and high riding boots, and the classic gymnastiorka shirt is worn by these figures, but many also wear a shaggy wool cape called a burka. This is supplied in two halves, with the back clipping onto the front and main part of the figure, as seen in this video. This join is a little uneven, and purists might like to fill the gaps before painting, though the fit is reasonably tight. All of the clothing depicted on these figures are period correct. 

The sabre is the traditional Cossack weapon, but many of the men also have the PPSh machine gun, which was a popular weapon with the cavalry. One man is firing a rifle from the saddle, but apart from that no firearms are actually being used.

The horses are very well sculpted and properly equipped and contain a number of great poses. Most are standing, walking or trotting, which are the most useful poses for this subject.

When the set is first examined, one thing that is immediately apparent is that the standing man is much bigger than his mounted comrades. He stands 26mm tall (1.87 metres), and towers above most figures in this scale. All the mounted men have tabs on their legs to help them grip their mounts, though these are easily removed. 

The level of detail is reasonable, and there was little trimming of flash required. At the time it was released this was the only twentieth century cavalry set made in plastic, and a very interesting addition to the large Revell World War II range.

The quality of these models are ranked on a scale of 1 - 10 as follows : 
Historical Accuracy - 9
Pose Quality - 7
Pose Number - 9
Sculpting - 7
Molding Quality - 8
