Armour

CinC M13/40
A fine model, but the barrels are fairly weak...


...and the H&R Version.  It looks OK at a distance, but close up, it really is fairly marginal.


GHQ Carro Commando and Semovente da 75/18
Easily one of my all-time favorite models.



H&R Semovente da 47
Early war 47mm AT gun armed tank destroyer


CinC AB41

Artillery

100mm Obise with SPA TL37 Prime Mover
An excellent model from GHQ, but fairly pricey with only 2 towed guns, 2 deployed guns, and 2 small trucks per pack.





Autocannone 65/17 su Morris
This is the common Italian 65mm infantry gun mounted on a Morris (captured?) truck chassis.  Made by Armstrong models, there are at least three variants, with the crew in different poses and the gun aimed in a different direction.


Autocannone 102/35 su CM50
This is a rather unique model from Armstrong Models.  Its an Italian 102mm naval gun on a self-propelled chassis, used for coastal defense, and ultimately pressed into wider service.  A very interesting and well detailed model.





H&R Lancia 3RO 90mm SP Gun
A self-propelled 90mm gun on a truck chassis.  There is a GHQ version of this as well that I intend to get.  Overall, not a bad model.



Infantry

The following shots are all of Italian infantry from GHQ.  I'm far more impressed with these models than I am with their moderns (which are good, don't get me wrong).  The wide variety of weapons and poses looks great, and paints up nicely.  I do intend to mount these eventually, but I'm waiting for another 300 stands to come in from Wargames Accessories.

These are riflemem along with an officer



Breda Light Machine Guns and a spotter


Breda 8mm Machine Gun teams


Grenade Thrower, Rifleman (middle), and Submachinegunner


Brixia 45mm Mortar (really more of a grenade launcher)


These are the models mounted up on stands








Soft Skin Vehicles

Dovunque-Viberti Radio truck
Also from Armstrong Models
