The Semovente M40, an Italian self-propelled gun inspired by the German Sturmgeschutz III, played a crucial role during WWII. Built upon the Carro Armato M13/40 chassis, it was equipped with a formidable 75mm howitzer and 50mm armor, offering significant protection to its crew. This model kit by Tamiya captures the essence of the M40, which was deployed in North Africa from late 1941, showcasing its durability in tank battles and support roles.
This 1/35 scale model kit meticulously recreates the Semovente M40’s low-profile design, measuring 143mm in length. The kit includes realistic assembly-type tracks and finely crafted tools and exhaust covers. Enhancements like photo-etched parts for the identification plate and anti-aircraft sight add to its authenticity. The set also features two figures—a standing officer and a seated driver—along with three marking options and military insignia decals.
