Rapid Fire! 20mm, Ariete tank division, Italian Army North Africa, 1942



The Command M13-40
 of one of the Ariete
Armoured Battalions (Esci).






The full battalion made of Italeri and Altaya models. 








Semovente 75mm (Esci).
The commander on
the right is a toy fireman with added goggles,
but he really looks like an Italian tank crewman.







AB 41 armoured cars
(first two Altaya; last one
FrontLine Wargaming)
with added Esci figures).











47mm guns. Made of Evergreen
 plastic with crews
from everywhere,
even from Esci British/Zulu box.













One battalion of Bersaglieri.

Esci Italians, British
and others with added
heads with Greenstuffed
plumes.


 



The Solothurn 20mm AT gun.
Evergreen
with copied wheels in resin.




.


Breda 8mm MMG. Evergreen also.
















The full 4 Bersaglieri battalions of Ariete and Littorio divisions. 

One of these days I will have to start artillery and soft skins...damn crisis!

  1. Soberbo.
    Tens razão já não me posso queixar da falta dos Italianos - Avanti Savoia.
    Gosto muito das Forças Italianas do periodo da WW2.
    Vejo que tens o DAK na sua maior força - venham os Brits.

    Abraço
