Does anyone know of Finnish WW2 infantry in 1/35?

Just wondering if there are some decent sets out there, tank riders would be nice, but I'll entertain anything. I spose I could use German infantry and put Russian weapons on them, but I thought I'd ask.

As far as I know, the only Finnish figures out there are the ICM set of Finnish Riflemen (Winter 1940)  https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ICM35566?result-token=zH3ln

It is true that during 1939-40 the Finns did standardize their look somewhat with aid from the Germans.   Their jacket is similar too, would just have to remove the pleats of the bottom pockets, and of course, the chest eagle.

A variety of helmet choices too:

I've only found two individual figures in 1/35 scale:

 

Arsenal35 | No. ARS3501

The Bodi | No. TB-35147

Not infantry, but Miniart have issued a Finnish Tank Crew set: https://miniart-models.com/products/35222/

 

Another good site for Finnish equipment and uniforms is here: http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/MAIN.html

 

There's also the official online photo archive as well: http://sa-kuva.fi/

Looks like the M.1917 Stahlhelm would be needed, too.
