Masterbox Propose... Italian Infantry (WIP)


Tuesday, December 22, 2009 - 03:12 AM GMT

By JIM RAE
MasterBox Ltd have just sent us images of what will be a first in 1/35th scale injection.moulded figures.

3579 - Italian Infantry, North Africa, WWII

This will be the first set in NEW series of figures covering a LONG-neglected subject - the War in North Africa.

As usual, Masterbox are going for dynamic figures - something which has become a keynote in much of the the company's release program. The inclusion of a MG is a nice touch.

No confirmation of release date as this is a continuing WIP but VERY welcome indeed.

Our thanks to Masterbox Ltd. for the Update!

More interesting stuff from MB. A much neglected area in plastic figures. I wonder if they will do a set of surrendering Italians or Italian POW, there were a lot of those :) Still waiting on their British POW too though!! :D Good news for the Axis modeller, a set I am sure will be welcomed by many.

fantastic perhaps we'll see some more north african theatre troops.. the rats of tobruk perhaps?

walkingcorpse SAID
My grandfather had hillarious stories of Italians surrendering in the desert to airman who were shot down, or to small partols whod go out at night and bring back twice their number in prisoners... He was one of the Rats of Tobruk, and whilst he had a grudging respect for the afrika korps (despite being wounded by them) but nothing but disdain for the italians

This is great news! Another set of Italians! Keep the new stuff rolling, MB! I will have to check my references if these could be used for Sicily as well. Cheerio!

Is the gunner trying to clear a jam? Great looking figures, if I could only paint them. Maybe we'll get more Tommies in 2010.
