Évaluation

Bon choix de sujet, the Carabinieri is perfectly posed for a diorama.

Apparently, the figurine was packaged immediately after painting, et the wire holding the Carabinieri in its plastic tray left a deep grove in the soft paint on the upper left thigh.

The sabre et bayonet frog came off during shipping et damaged the paint on the left thigh et arm.

The musket is badly twisted just below the Carabinieri’s hand.

A 6-page fold-out describes the history of the Carabinieri, including colour illustrations de soldats, officiers, et weapons. The illustration on the cover page shows a Carabinieri avec ruban de cou rouge, but the figurine wears un ruban blanc.

Compatible avec figurines militaires et civiles de chez King & Country en 1/30.
