HIRIART Italian Military Display (1 Viewer)

[ucla1967]

This is my Hiriart Italian military display which covers the Italian military from 1891 through World War II. Hiriart has 22 different Italian themed sets in its regular catalog plus four other unique ones (i.e., not duplicated in the regular catalog) in their Spanish Civil War catalog. With a couple of exceptions, I have them all or have them on order. I previously posted these photos under the collections thread.

Photo one: sets 1198 Cacciatore d'Africa, 1936; 1179 World War I Alpini Mountain Infantry; and 1291 Ascari Libiche, III Bataglione, 1929.

Photo two: sets 1197 World War II Bersaglieri, 1206 Italia Fara Da Se young fascists with Mussolini, and 1197 World War II Italian Infantry, 1939.

Photo three: sets 1197 World War II Italian Bersaglieri, North Africa; 1290 Ascari Sotto il Tricolore, Somaliland, 1898; 1193 Bersaglieri, 1900; and 1229 Cavalleria Coloniale Italiani, 1891.

Photo four: a close-up of set 1207 Fiat-Ansaldo CV33 (carro veloce) Tankette.
