Italy: Italian Paracadutisti Platoon

Drop into combat with the Italian Paracadutisti platoon!

Some of the very best troops available to Italian commanders were the Paracadutisti - the airborne forces of the Regio Esercito.

This box contains 30 infantry models in M41 paratrooper uniforms, allowing you to build a huge variety of Paracadutisti infantry units and weapons teams. On each sprue you’ll find a host of weaponry, from the ubiquitous short Carcano rifle to the much-loved Beretta Model 38 submachine gun and unique Lanciafiamme 41 d’assalto compact flamethrower. There’s also a plethora of additional equipment, including improvised anti-tank grenades and the iconic paratrooper webbing and vests.

As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a full set of extra heads in berets, allowing you to build the fearsome X Arditi special forces troops!

The following units from Armies of Italy can be assembled from this box, among many others:

• Platoon Commander
• Medic
• Folgore & Nembo Paracadutisti Squads
• 10th Reggimento Arditi Squad
• Guastatori Engineer Squad
• Flamethrower Team

This kit can also be used to make a wide range of spotters and forward observers, or combined with many other kits - the possibilities are endless!
