Semovente M41 da 75/18 - 1/100th Scale

A detailed model in 1/100th scale of the most powerful italian vehicle used in the Desert campaign of 1941-43. This self-propelled gun, armed with a 75 mm howitzer, was able to stop any of the allied tanks used at that time. A "must" to complete your collection of ww2 tanks

The self-propelled Semovente 75/18 was developed starting from 1938 as part of the strengthening of the armoured units of the Regio Esercito (the italian royal army). After some prototypes, initially equipped with a 47 mm anti-tank gun (the same as the M13), the 75 mm howitzer was finally opted for, installed in a casemate designed over the hull of the M13. The first vehicles were assigned to the units only in January 1942, when they reached the 132nd regiment of the Ariete armoured division in Libya. 60 examples of the M40 were produced, while about another 200 were produced using the hull of the M14/41 and thus were called M41. On the field, the Semovente proved to be a valid opponent for the British-American armoured tanks, thanks to EP-Effetto Pronto (the italian hollow-charge rounds) ammunitions.

The 1/100th scale model of the Semovente M41 is 4.9 cm long, 2.2 wide and 1.85 height. It is recommended to print the files with a resin 3D printer.
