Custom Piece Miniature – Soviet Red Army Infantry “Shinel” Greatcoat – 3D Print for LEGO Minifigure

This is a custom clothing accessory for a toy minifigure, representing a Soviet Red Army Infantry “Shinel” Greatcoat from the World War II era.

This version of the Shinel greatcoat is specifically detailed for the most common soldier in the Soviet military. The garment has the standard brownish-grey, heavy woolen appearance essential for survival on the Eastern Front. Its most important identifying feature is the crimson red collar tabs (petlitsy), which was the designated branch color for the Infantry. The Infantry formed the backbone of the Red Army and bore the brunt of the fighting throughout the war. Additionally, this accessory includes a more detailed printed belt, which features a prominent map case or officer’s pouch. The inclusion of this piece of equipment suggests that the uniform is meant to represent that of a non-commissioned officer (NCO) or a junior officer responsible for leading a squad or platoon.
