Italeri 1/35 Fiat 508cm Coloniale W Crew Model Kit

The Fiat 508CM Coloniale was the Italian military's light utility vehicle, based on the civilian Fiat 508 "Balilla" but modified with higher ground clearance and colonial-spec cooling for North African service. This charming little vehicle served the Regio Esercito as a staff car, reconnaissance vehicle, and general utility transport. Its modest 30 HP engine and lightweight construction suited the Italian military's practical approach to desert operations. This 1/35 Italeri kit includes the vehicle with Italian crew figures.
