Product Description

Tamiya - 1:35 Italian Self-Propelled Gun Semovente M40 - 35294

During the middle stages of WWII, the Semovente M40 which mimicked the very successful German Sturmgeschutz III was proudly used by Italian forces. Using the Carro Armato M13/40's hull, the Semovente M40 came armed with a limited maneuverable but hardy 75mm howitzer with 50mm thick armor to protect its crew. From the end of 1941, the M40 was deployed to the hot North African front and was quickly thrown into action in early 1942 in tank-to-tank battles and supportind duties. The Semovente M40 proved to be very resilient, and was considered as Italy's toughest tank at the North African front.
