The Italeri 7052S model kit offers an intricate representation of the AB 43 armored car, a significant evolution of its predecessors, the AB 40 and AB 41. This model captures the essence of the vehicle's design, which was equipped with a larger turret housing a 20MM Breda 35 main gun and a co-axial 8MM machine gun. The AB 43's historical context is notable, as it was produced under German control after the Italian armistice in 1943. Deployed by German units on the Italian front, these vehicles played roles in both combat and police operations in the northern regions. Post-war, surviving units were repurposed for maintaining public order.
