Now that I have some skin in the game, I would like to make a few suggestions regarding some sets that Andy might consider adding. The first is regarding the set IF044 Italian AS-42 Sahariana Eastern Front variant, I wonder if it would it be possible to add some Italian crewmen and Italian infantry wearing their grey-green uniforms with M33 helmets? Although K&C has made more Italian sets than anyone I can think of (and I thank you for that Andy!), none of the them are in the grey-green European uniform.

The Italian Corpo Spedizione Italiane in Russia in 1941 initially comprised one corps of three divisions. In 1942, two additional corps with seven divisions were sent to Russia and the three corps became the Italian Eighth Army which was virtually destroyed in the fighting around Stalingrad.

Count me in. Would love to see the Italian soldiers in their European wool uniform.

For those of you not completely familiar with the K&C AS-42 Sahariana, here is what it looks like next to a K&C Italian M13/40 Tank. It has almost the same footprint as the tank, but, to me, looks incomplete without a crew.

Here is what the European Theater Italian grey-green uniform looks like.
