Italeri 6584 - 1/35 Semovente M42 da 75/34 Scale Modelling Kit  [IT-6584S]

Italeri 6584 Semovente M42 da 75/34 Overview

The Italeri 6584 Semovente M42 da 75/34 recreates the Italian self propelled gun used in World War II with careful attention to detail. Popular with modellers for its historical role in theatres like North Africa and the Eastern Front, this 1/35 representation highlights the vehicle's distinctive hull and combat purpose while offering an accurate modelling subject.

Period Role and Accuracy

The Semovente M42 da 75/34 was fielded as a response to changing battlefield threats and mounted a 75mm L/34 gun for anti armour tasks. The Italeri kit reflects the vehicle's turretless layout and sloped hull lines, making it a useful reference for anyone aiming for historical authenticity in a display piece.

Assembly and Detail

This kit delivers a satisfying build with finely moulded components and realistic track and suspension parts that need careful fitting. Builders will find the assembly rewarding, with opportunities to enhance realism through painting and weathering techniques common in scale armour modelling.

Finished Model Presentation

When complete, the Semovente M42 makes a strong addition to a military model collection, working well on its own or in dioramas alongside other WWII vehicles. Its combination of historical interest and detailed moulding gives collectors a compelling display subject.
