WWll ITALIAN MILITARY VEHICLE - (28 mm.) EASY ASSEMBLY FOR GAMERS AND COLLECTORS
The production of Italian tanks during the Second World War was mainly
focused on the "M" type. The M-13/40 was perhaps the most recognizable
and widespread tank of the Italian Regio Esercito. It was characterized
by its amour which consisted of riveted steel plates and its main
armament, a 47 mm gun. Although superior to the Italian light tanks of
the "L" series which were relegated to perform reconnaissance duties, it
in turn became obsolete during the war, and was ultimately unable to
match opposing enemy tanks. The self-propelled M-40 gun was also built
on its chassis. Equipped with a 75 mm gun it was very effective and
feared by enemy armored vehicles. The optimum operational deployment was
the combination of the M-13/40 flanked by self-propelled gun units which
were able to complement the limited firepower of the tanks. During the
war several improvements were made on the tanks and self-propelled guns in terms of technical solutions and armaments.
