Zanarin Kobani is a remarkable woman, that's for sure.

'Before Syria’s war began in 2011, Kobani was “studying and staying home”.

But, she decided, “I wanted to defend my homeland”, particularly against the threat of Islamic State, also known as Isis.

“Across the world women are enslaved, oppressed, but in [the city of] Kobani it was more, a very conservative society, and my reaction was to become a member of this army,” she said. “I started to think about democracy, minority rights ... The [Assad] regime oppressed women, the society before oppressed them. I saw this army was giving women rights so I joined.”'

Excited to put together some new models. Had enough bits around to turn this kit into two officers, a lieutenant and a sergeant.

Unfortunately actual assembly must wait until I can slip off to the game store, as my wife is allergic to the glue fumes.
