AlanL 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.
Al robby249 thats something you dont find every day dsaulino The facial features on the MG gunner are really well done! walkingcorpse fantastic
perhaps we'll see some more north african theatre troops.. the rats of tobruk perhaps?

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 Dangeroo 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! jointhepit cool new addition

We're all going a little :[]-- here but if you read up a bit on the conditions Italian Troops had to fight under in N... Orangebarrelman 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. |
