Italian WW1 infantry - in helmets ?

Leon

Can you or indeed any forum members confirm if Codes IP1 and IP2 (Italian WW1 infantry) are cast wearing the Adrian helmets ?

Thanks

These are older paint jobs of mine so, I'm not as pleased but,

IP1



IP2. It also includes the pistol weilding officer figure as seen in IP1. Also, note the Farina body armor and dagger of the figure on the left.

Many thanks Dave.  We all seem to progress with painting in 10mm, and are critical of older figures, but I think your work is very neat.

I was looking inter war inn French helmets hence my query.

Hi Dave

And thanks from me, I was wondering what they looked like. They seem to be very useful figures for interwar uses. Your old style of painting is something I can only aspire to  . Do the Fiat Revelli machine guns  look enough like Vickers at a distance for a short sighted man to find them acceptable?

Cheers and thanks again

IP3 is quite well cast. The machine gun clearly looks like the Fiat Revelli. It is molded with the conical shaped flass hider as well. If the difference in the size/shape of the receiver bothers you, that could be easily remedied with a little green putty.
