Italeri 6482S AB 40 1/35 Armoured Car Kit  [IT-6482S]

AB 40 Design and Lineage

The Italeri 6482S 1/35 scale AB 40 Armored Car model kit gives hobbyists the opportunity to assemble a faithful replica of a noteworthy interwar Italian armoured vehicle. Developed for the Italian Royal Army in the late 1930s to supersede older Lancia designs, the AB 40 featured four-wheel drive, independent suspension and dual driving positions that reflected advanced thinking for its era.

This kit reproduces the AB 40's characteristic elements, including the turret-mounted 8mm machine guns and rear hull armament. Although built in limited numbers, the AB 40 influenced later models such as the AB 41. The Italeri kit focuses on scale accuracy and tidy moulding to deliver a rewarding build for modellers who enjoy period military subjects.
