BAM Italians
« on: May 02, 2013, 07:00:23 PM »
Hello

Before BAM was aquired by Warlord I think they had Italian SS, i saw one model on 'mainly 28'. Does anyone know this models? Have them? Is willing to sell them maybe?

Thanks, cheers,

interestingly enough, there were some
legionari
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/29th_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_%281st_Italian%29

there are also some videos on Youtube

might be an interesting mix of german and italian uniforms and equipment
apparently quite "efficient", which includes a rather unpalatable reputation given the circumstances....

The set was made for our second show we did at Dadi.com in Crema Italy back in 2005.

They sold out at the show, which was good as all the profits were converted in to food and Christmas presents.

The Bersaglieri is from the British equipped Italian Co-Belligerent Amry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Co-Belligerent_Army.

The Italian Para was so popular that is why we started the Italian range for BAM.

As former user said. The proportions are really good.  This is something to look out for.

That was interesting news, I have that one and I always wondered why he has a Thompson. Does he wear a hat or a British helmet?

that was the point where I mistook it for an Alpini hat
to go with the British battledress, it should be a helmet
