Detailed Representation of the M13/40 Italian Medium Tank

The Italeri 7517S model kit offers a 1/72 scale rendition of the Carro Armato M13/40, a pivotal tank used by the Royal Italian Army during World War II. This model captures the historical essence of the M13/40, which was introduced in 1940 to address the inadequacies of earlier Italian tanks when faced with British armor in North Africa. The M13/40 was notable for being the first Italian tank equipped with a turret-mounted 47 mm gun. Despite its limitations against Allied forces, it remained in service until 1943.

This kit is designed for ease of assembly, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced modelers who appreciate historical accuracy and detailed craftsmanship. The package includes two fast assembly models, allowing collectors to expand their display with minimal effort.
