Features
This is a fast assembly kit featuring 2 models.
The "Semovente" 75/18 M40, developed by Fiat Ansaldo, was employed by Regio Esercito from the end of 1941 in North Africa and was used up to the end of World War II. Although it was developed on the tank M13/40 old frame, it was the only Italian armored vehicle produced in large numbers to pose a serious threat to Allied tanks. Its 75mm gun had a good fire power and was effective even with the most modern and heavily armored enemy tanks like the Sherman. However, a good and effective gun wasn't enough to compensate for its several weaknesses (a too light armor and a unreliable and the weak engine directly derived from the tank M13/40).
The Italian Semovente was more notably used by the Ariete and Littorio Armoured Division in North Africa. At the end of the war it was also used by the Repubblica Sociale in the North of Italy.
Note: Assembly required. Paint/glue not included.
