A big hello from sunny Northampton.
I have just started Airsofting at Finmere.
Have been re-enacting for many years and have plenty of 'loadouts'.
Brit Med/Africa, Brit ETO, ANZAC, Heer, Panzer & Volkssturm etc. etc.
Is there anybody out there portraying Italians?
I have kit for:-
Blackshirt Infantry North Africa
Italian SS
Black Brigade
Unfortunately no Italian weaponary (apart from a de-ac MAB) so am using 8mm Mauser, MP40,
P38 & Broomhandle Mauser Carbine.
Anybody else out there feel the lure of Italian camo and a bottle of vino?
Avanti!

Hi there. Italian is one area we are lacking, for sure. If somebody would bring out an airsoft Beretta SMG..... 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Yep and some tanks that go backwards 
italian's a good idea , they fought in a lot of places IIRC. Welcome 
Welcome to the forum
Hi, welcome to the forum! Italian is a new one for most of us here, so you'll have to educate us a bit 
When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
Welcome!
And I'll have the wine if it's red! Got any spare italian women tucked away there..?
Hi and welcome, I thought about doing an Italian para impression a while back after spotting some post war Italian camo overalls on fleabay. I did a bit of research but didn`t go any further with the idea
Thanks for the welcome.
Italians, the friendly face of fascism!

Welcome and it looks like fandanglos and Che have been pipped to the post 
they had considered an Italian impression
Anybody else out there feel the lure of Italian camo and a bottle of vino?
Closest I've got to the first part of that was some Italian Camo trousers to go with a 12th SS impression, the second part? Well, most of us here are well acquainted with large quantities of Vino

Indeed crates of it were consumed in the officers mess at DDay .

Mmmmmmm Para! Folgore or Nembo? They acted as divisional scouts for the Fallschirmjager units in Russia - awesome crazy dudes!
The guys from Hong Kong do some great Italian Para kit, in both colours - check out the para smock on pegasus militaria. The only drawback would be getting a para helmet - the saying 'hen's teerh' comes to mind here.
Also possible would be the Decima MAS from the RSI period - late '43 onwards.
I'll try and get some photos of the kit posted.

I did some research on folgore, nembo and decima mas, as you say the helmet is rare, I tried fleabay Italy and found a couple, but quite pricey. Be interesting to see some kit pics as I relied mostly on the Osprey books and pics of 1/6 action figures
Awesome idea 'Battleaxe' I await your p.m.
Anybody else in the Northampton area on here?
I look forward to attending my first event with you all - Anzio or Cassino anyone??

I believe there`s a Russian front game in May, somewhere in Shropshire
Hey there, fella Sounding good I picked up an Italien Helmet the other day but its too small for me 
, keep up the good work.
Hi there. Welcome to the forum - must say the idea of seeing an Italian impression on the axis side sounds intriguing - can't wait to see it -

That's the plan, on an event I can battle with the Germans during the first half (C'ause their kit is just so Gucci) and swap over to the allied side when things start going Pete Tong!
Back on topic though, the majority of my kit is post September 1943, the RSI period.
Can't wait to attend an airsofting event on the Axis side though.
