Proposed Offensive Miniatures 8th Army / AIF Breda and crew
« on: August 23, 2013, 07:28:41 PM »
We have a captured Breda with 8th army crew ready for release. We are considering doing an AIF, Australian crew version as well.

Would people be interested in it?

We await your comments.

thanks

These are very nice, but don't know if I'll be in the market for buying some at the moment, as I am focusing on Italians.  This might be a silly question, but are you going to issue the model with an Italian crew?

Not a silly question at all.

as you know we have a small Italian offer in our range at present. We wish o expand this with more - working on it now. An Italian Breda crew is on there.

We were thinking interchangeable heads for Pavia Bescia etc, Carabinere, Bersageliere etc.

What do you think?

thanks

Bruce

I think that the Italian 28mm market is beginning to get crowded with Perry, Warlord & Artizan, but always happy to see more!  Separate heads are a must-have for Italians; did any other WW2 uniformed nation have such a spread of headgear?

Go Bruce go! More Italians! I am now building my post-1943 Italian army - the one fighting on the good side  ;) - together with a collection of Italian partisans, and the more Italians on the market, the better

Just to add to the variety... how about a SCW 'Adrian' style helmet for your Italian crew as well?  ;)

Could be good.

Empress got SCW well covered, but my boss's granddad did fight in it, so maybe he might....
