F.M. Beneito #EN/2, 40mm Italian Alpine Troops Metal Figure Vignette WWI, Vintage and Rare.

A Superbly sculpted 40mm (1/45) vignette of Italian Alpini ascending the top of a mountain during WWI.

The scene depicts the ascension of Monte Nero (2245 m) the 16th June 1915, where two units of Alpini during a surprise night climb, caught off guard the 6 companies of Hungarian Hovend guarding the top and after a brief firefight, the defenders surrendered leaving 628 prisoners. But of course the scene can depict any mountainous location of WWI.

The all metal kit includes 3 figures, a scale canvas rope, a base depicting the rocky side of a mountain and instructions.

Although pre-owned, the model is in New condition with all the small parts still in their original closed clear plastic bag and I replaced them in their original position on the foam holder.

Can combine shipping for multiple items buyers.

International buyers from Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, etc.) and South Pacific, please contact me to verify the shipping costs, as there seems to be some discrepancies with the fares offered on eBay’s site.

Thanks, Dan
