Description

The Semovente M42 da 7 mm produced by Italeri in 1/35 scale assembly kit, is classified in Scale Models - Military Series - Tanks

At the end regarding the 1930’s the Italian Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army) started to deploy self-propelled artillery guns to produce support for tanks and infantry units. The ‘Semovente’ 75/18 was created on the back of the ‘M’ series medium tank hull and quickly became the absolute most feared Italian armored car. As well as its primary artillery role, the 75mm howitzer installed in the casemate proved to be a highly effective anti-tank gun, with the capacity of destroying perhaps the most powerful and greatly armored Uk and US tanks. Also its solid firepower, far more advanced than compared to the M-13 and M-14 tanks, the ‘Semovente’ was valued for its low profile which managed to get tough to find, and in addition for the overall on-road/off-road performance. It was implemented by the Regio Esercito in Africa as well as in a defensive part during Allied operations in Italy. After Italy’s withdrawal through the conflict it was found in solution by some German Wehrmacht anti-tank devices, therefore validating its overall battle effectiveness.
