Italian Army & Blackshirts starter army

These highly detailed plastic and metal figures represent soldiers from various branches of the Italian military - the regular army (the Regio Esercito) as well as specialists such as the Carabinieri, Granatieri or the fascist Camicie Nere (the Blackshirts) with their characteristic black fezzes and shirts.

Helmets, sun helmets, and caps allow you to build temperate or tropical troops, enabling you to deploy your army in the dusty deserts of North Africa, on the islands of the Mediterranean, in the harsh cold of Russia, or on the Italian home front. Medium mortar, machine gun, and anti-tank gun support elements provide additional firepower. Armored support is provided by the M13/40 medium tank, which can alternatively be built as the Semovente 75/18 assault gun.

The box contains:

• 36 highly customizable Italian infantrymen made of plastic
• A plastic M13/40 medium tank (which can alternatively be built as the Semovente 75/18)
• 4 HQ metal figures (officer with pistol; officer with SMG, medic; radio operator)
• Metal MMG crew (weapon with three man crew)
• Medium mortar crew (weapon with three man crew)
• 47mm anti-tank gun team (weapon with three man crew)

Models are delivered unassembled and unpainted.
