These highly detailed plastic and metal figures represent soldiers of several arms of the Italian military - the regular army (the Regio Esercito) as well as specialists like the Carabinieri, Granatieri, or the fascist Camicie Nere (the Blackshirts) with their trademark black fezzes and shirts.

Helmets, sun helmets and caps further allow for temperate or tropical troops to be built so you can field your army in the dusty deserts of North Africa, the islands of the Mediterranean, the harsh cold of Russia, or the Italian home front.

Providing armoured support is the M13/40 medium tank which can alternatively be built as a Semovente 75/18 assault gun.
