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

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

The crimson red collar tabs (petlitsy) on this Shinel greatcoat clearly identify it as belonging to a soldier of the Infantry. The coat has the typical brownish-grey color meant to simulate the heavy wool that protected soldiers from the Russian winter. This particular accessory is distinguished by the equipment printed on its belt. It features a set of large ammunition pouches, specifically designed to carry magazines or drum magazines for a submachine gun, such as the iconic PPSh-41. The Red Army made extensive use of submachine gunners (avtomatchiki) to provide immense firepower in close-quarters combat. Therefore, this uniform piece represents a common but vital frontline shock trooper, the backbone of Soviet assault units in major battles like Stalingrad.
