You can see a strong similarity between these, as the faces / their expressions are overdrawn and sometimes very close to the distinctive style of the Osprey illustrations. I went with the bodies in Sahariano socks and a regular tunic, giving them the pith helmets and a bustina modello 42, that I found saw on one of Osprey's colour plates. I prepared small groups of the miniatures to give you examples of how to combine the included parts, starting with Italian Army in tropical uniform. I like the smaller details on the miniatures, as they even sculpted the studs on boots sole. The instructions don't really go into detail which uniform fits which unit or theatre of war best, but Osprey's Warrior 169 - The Italian Soldier in North Africa 1941-43 should provide some further information on that topic, as some snippets I found online let to assume, unfortunately I don't have access to that book to clarify that matter. Pose 1 and 5 are wearing Camiciotto Sahariano smocks, the others either M37 or M40 tunics. Three standing, two advancing and one kneeling. You get a total of 6 different poses from each sprue. That is not a big problem, as you can't use that many SMGs compared to other forces in their regular units / the units buildable from this box set. And in my case, a few bent weapons as you can see.Ĭontent wise you end up with 10 (!) LMG with this box but "just" 5 SMG. The details are good, just the mould lines a bit present compared to other casting runs. The sprues are tightly packed, as you can see a lot of head options, and not just fez, helmets and pith helmets, but field caps as well, along with various bags, daggers and other gear. Unfortunately, they spend a lot of space for the insignia of the decal sheet, but not which gear fits which units or time frames for the different theatres of war. The double-sided instruction leaflet lists all of the included parts in the sprue and gives you an idea for composition on the other side. As usual you get 5 sprues with 6 soldiers each, an instruction leaflet, a small decal sheet (that can be used for other Italian units as well, like the Bersaglieri, Alpini and so on) and 25mm round bases with a small lip. In this case we get a box of 30 soldiers, that can be built as either Italian Army forces in regular and tropical uniform, or as the fascist militia Camice Nere, Blackshirts. This box is a huge update to the Italian army, as most of the Italian Bolt Action range is made from the rather dated, initial range along with not many other manufacturers covering Italians in 28mm. And it is not just multi-part plastic but gives you the option to build Italian forces for early and mid-war in Europe and North Africa, along with Black Shirts. Warlord Games released a new plastic boxed set, Italian Army & Blackshirts, to accompany the latest campaign supplement Soft Underbelly (review on its way - book stuck in transit.
