My pleasure Fabio !
I usually by most Dragon kits from the Far East ( it`s much cheaper than buying in Europe - even when including the postage ! ) I usually buy from "Hobby Easy" http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en_US/prod/34434.html or "Lucky Model" who both offer excellent service.

Thanks a lot for the update Stirl. From the pics I've seen there's also some work to do on the bersaglieri's trousers. Just a question did you purchase them in the UK or yoúve got them shipped from the far East? Ciao Fabio

I`ve just taken delivery of these figures today Fabio - and although the figures are very nicely sculptured some of their equipment is slightly underscale ( water bottles & carbine ammunition pouches ) some modellers may wish to replace these with the excellent Model Victoria equipment set http://www.modelvictoria.it/accessori/equipaggiamento_per_fante_italiano.htm
The two Bersaglieri figures would benefit from some detail ( pleats ) to the hip pockets of their camiciotto Sahariano,Dragon seem to have used the Osprey publication as their primary reference when designing this set - http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/large_image.aspx?ID=1189

Hi Fabio,
Glad you like the look of these figures - it just goes to show how far things have improved since Italeri released their set of Bersaglieri / Paracadutisti way back in the 70`s !
