Not sure if this has been posted here, but MiniArt have announced the impending release of a (WWII) Italian Tank Crew

More here

It's nothing flash, but I suppose fills a gap for those that favour plastic over resin (there are plenty of resin Italian figures about for those not in the know )

Always good to get more plastic crew figures. I like the 2 seated crew.To me they look " tired of the sand , heat and war." Now the speculation starts , if MA has a crew coming ...are they producing a tank ?

Oh,I like these guys a lot. These go with any Roman charriot on the market now.
Any idea when available and how much ransom needed?
Thanks,
Rick

That's great news Rudi, we sure need more Italians to drive all those new Italeri tanks...

Cheers!

I'm really looking forward to getting these figures. I have a lot of Italian armor with no crew members. Thanks for the heads up.

Hmmm, always thought any Italian tank crew produced would be in the classic Italian army pose.......surrendering.

Cīmon Kevin, behave !
Some people seem to forget that after Italy switched sides with the allies, that a large group of Italian soldiers fought against there former axis friend

That Italian army should be given some credit fore there fair share of kicking out naziīs in there home land.
With-out surrendering.

I know you said it just for the fun of it, but lets get back on topic, shall we.
