The Italian Job

[Fitz]

Small Beginnings

The very first of my 15mm 1941 Italian ground forces for the desert war are these three.

The Italians are pretty severely undermanned at present, as these two guys are the only Italian infantry I have painted at all, and apart from them, I only have some gun crews for a 75/27 battery I bought quite some time ago and then completely forgot.

The diminutive little vehicle is a 3d-printed CV-35 tankette, pretty much completely worthless against any sort of tank, but it can hold its own against, say, a truck. The soldiers are from Battlefront.

Unless the truck runs over it.

Very nice.

I saw a diorama of a similar vehicle being used to get a party of Eighth Army back from a bar.

Next up: the M15/42, or as it is otherwise known, That Generic Italian Tank.

I'll be using these to stand in for M13/40, M14/41, or even as M15/42, although that last is too late for my chosen period really.

If I get really keen, I might get around to modelling an actual M13/40, but we'll just see how we get on first.

Cute.
