Here is the review of the Italian Infantry from W.W.1 released by Italeri. Another fine and long over due set that should wet the appetite of many dio builders.

Thanks!

One should note that these, like the Austo-Hungarian troops mentioned below, are in no way representative of original Italeri moulds, and that they are the work of ICM. They (the ICM figures) are among the best plastic 1/35 figures I've ever seen.

With out a doubt who ever sculpted these figures did a great job. The detail on the faces and hands alone is fantastic. I thought I mentioned that the sprue indicates that the parent company was I.C.M. They are also sold under I.C.M.'s label. Only difference is the art work on the box. Just saw how out of focus the pic's are, sorry for that. They looked god in the camera play back, but a friend resized then and sent them out for me.

Excellent review and great that you took the time to make it a build review. Not a set that would be immediately attractive to me but your review has me thinking about them

Nice Rebox,also Tamiya rebox some ICM,but that uniform without leggings,with caps and backpacks (they stop wear it in battle during 1916) are only good for the first year of war 1915-16, but at the same time they added a lot of different weapons also unusual one like the Villar Perosa or Lipmann helmet guards, then forget about other weapons and equipment far more used as Fiat14 or Corazza Farina, though the weapons are very well made and a very big choice, a few things like the wire Cutters or the trench Club are Austrian not Italian, but it's also true that they were often "stolen" from the enemy, the box for gas mask is the model that bore the inscription "who takes away the mask dies" "chi leva la maschera muore" pity that many Italian soldiers as well as my great-grandfather were illiterate...,was nice have a decal for that, apart from the legs of the private, is ready in order to represent the whole war 15- 18 becose they add the cap,the French helmet issued in the end of 15 and the Italian Adrian one issued in 16, the officer with the leather leggings is fine for all the war.
