Posting this on behalf of Tim Tilson: Does anyone make WWII 15mm Italians in tropical helmets as they would have been worn in the East Africa campaign of 1940-41? Also, are there any manufacturers for WWII 15mm South Africans in their big helmet again for East Africa? |

Old Glory 25 produces Italian infantry in the Desert in their Command Decision Range.

Peter Pig do WWI British sun helmet heads that might work for the SA "Polo helmet," ( peterpig.co.uk/heads.html ) and slouch hats, which Union troops also wore. Put these on a mix of 8th Army bodies and regular British and you've got South Africans. PP also do sun helmet heads for their Italian line. |

Eureka 15mm Italians and their allies for East Africa. Not 18mm giants, so they fit well with PP. I use the 15mm PP 14th Army with head swaps as well for my Union troops. I also use the PP 8th Army for Sudanese troops. Eureka also offer Abyssinians suitable for resisting the Italians. |
