Italeri 1/72 Semovente M40 Da 75 18 Model Kit

The Semovente M40 da 75/18 was Italy's first self-propelled gun, mounting the 75/18 howitzer on the M13/40 tank chassis. It proved more effective than the tanks it was based on, thanks to its low profile and adequate firepower. Semoventes served in North Africa from El Alamein onward and in Sicily and Italy, earning respect from both Allied and Axis forces. Italeri's 1/72 fast-build kit captures this important Italian armored vehicle.
