Italian Paracadutisti Support Group
Led by hardened and experienced officers, Italian paratroopers were highly respected on the battlefield. At El Alamein, troops of the renowned Folgore (Lightning) Division held out for weeks against relentless British assaults. Rather than surrender, they launched bayonet charges and destroyed enemy tanks in desperate close-quarters combat, earning a reputation for tenacity and bravery.
Airborne units relied on the same trusted support weapons as the Royal Italian Army: the Breda Modello 37 medium machine gun and the Mortaio da 81/14 Modello 35 81mm mortar. These provided essential fire support, suppressing enemy positions and defending key points with sustained, accurate fire.
This set includes 10 metal miniatures representing a full airborne support group: two officers with submachine guns, one NCO, one radio operator, a medium machine gun team, and a medium mortar team. Plastic bases are also included. Perfect for expanding your Italian Bolt Action force, these troops bring valuable tactical options through a combination of mobility and reliable support weapons. Models are supplied unassembled and unpainted.
