Italeri 1/35 Semovente M42 da 75/18 - Model overview for serious builders

The Italeri 1/35 Semovente M42 da 75/18 reproduces a compact but potent Italian self propelled gun from World War II. The kit captures the low silhouette and characteristic gun mantlet of the original vehicle, reflecting the workhorse design used on the M series chassis and the effective 75 mm howitzer it carried.

Why modellers value this Semovente

This subject appeals to collectors who enjoy accurate military vehicle kits and historical fidelity. The model highlights the Semovente's blend of artillery and anti-tank roles, and its compact profile makes it an attractive display piece for cabinets and themed dioramas.

Assembly pointers and display suggestions

Expect a deliberate build with fine plastic parts that reward careful trimming and test-fitting. Subassemblies lend themselves to painting before final assembly, and the finished model stands well on its own or as part of a larger World War II collection.
