Tamiya 35294 1/35 Semovente M40 Italian SPG Kit  [35294]

Semovente M40 History and Combat Role

The Semovente M40, modelled here in 1/35 scale, was an Italian self-propelled gun that drew on the Sturmgeschutz III concept. Built on the Carro Armato M13/40 chassis, it carried a 75mm howitzer and used up to 50mm of armor to protect its crew. Deployed in North Africa from late 1941, the M40 served in direct fire and infantry support roles.
