Nice, but they will be tiny next to my Artizan ones.......

True, but there will/(is) certainly be a much fuller range for the Western Desert and North Africa  .

It is a shame these don't scale well with many of the other popular ranges - as Perry makes excellent plastics.  It is nice to see a company flush out a range though.  Nothing bugs me more than a company who dips their big toe into a dozen different conflicts or theatres.  Perry are pretty good about this.

I'm sure they'll look sharp when finished.

Very nice.

Some heads with Wolseley helmets would be great for Free French in Italian East Africa.

well, I sure hope we can expect the usual four packs range plus a few support weapons. And hopefulls the helmeted version will be with adrians, because everyone can use the spare heads to make the tin hats. tropical hlemets would be a thrill too, but these were not used in the North Africa campaign, at least they don't appear all too often on pictures. A nice touch would also be spare heads with forage cap, for the colonial troops. These are all too often forgotten, the two legion batallions were not alone at Bir Hakeim.

Actually, the kepis should come as spare heads they are more propaganda hat than actual wear

spare heads with :
-kepi for officers, NCo's
-adrian helmet
-colonial helmet for erythrea
-fez for the "bataillon de marche"

and no more of the white kepi ... what a dream 

white kepi on XXth century legion troups in battle is stupid, just as depicting Grenadier Guard fighting along the Mareth Line, in 1943, in bearskin ...

tell this to the french propaganda after Bir Hakeim....

  let's say after 1940, but yes, I agree

[lou passejaire]

even in pre-1939 actions in lebanon syria, for exemple, legionnaries were issued colonial helmet
