I think Italian vehicles make great subjects, but they are few and far between. My local hobby shop never has any in stock and I am forced to special order them. I would like to know which Italian models are good quality, as I am not familiar with many of the companies that do make them. I have already ordered Zvezda's M13/40 and Model Victoria's Topolino over the internet. Any information on these or other Italian models would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nic

some nice Folgore partroopers would be great, also a good italian truck would help.
also a nice italian officer figure

Are you looking for just WWII or modern day Italian vehicles?

Here is a link for one WWII Italian tank. http://store.yahoo.com/internethobbies/tam135itsemm.html

Yes, Model Victoria also makes some paratroopers, including some manning a 48mm anti-tank gun.

For a diorama, I thought of having the Topolino, with the officer getting out, stopped for a camel laying across the road (made by Verlinden) and with another officer standing with his arms on his hips staring down the camel. It would be a fun little piece, I think.

The Tamiya Semovente is a fairly old kit. I know Zvezda also makes a Semovente. Would anyone know which kit would be better?
