Does anyone manufacture a 25 or 28 mm figure of Il Duce? I'm thinking of doing a scenario based on the German raid on the Gran Sasso to rescue Mussolini. I visited there about ten years ago. The hotel where he was held hasn't changed much. The grand dining room still has black and white photographs depicting Fascists dining there. And the owner even let me visit the room where Mussolinie was held. Thanks for any suggestions.

Scroll all the way down to see 0053 Tinpot Dictator: link He always gave me an "Il Duce" vibe. A little painting, maybe some light conversion could do the trick.

Deserter, the first moment I saw that picture, it was like: "The nazis captured Churchill!" But that certainly was just me…

Are you looking for Mussolini figure standing or dangling upside down?

I found a figure of Mussolini 28mm from his rescue, but now can find it. Can someone tell me who makes Mussolini figs these days? I am doing a LRDG project, and I need a figure for a Capture Mussolini raid.

Offensive miniatures do a Mussolini figure and a Skorzeny figure as for the Gran Sasso raid. They only come as freebies with a whole set of Fallschirmjager but if you are starting from scratch, that should not be a problem. link
