Request Stock NotificationThe Italeri Italian Tanks and Semoventi (HC-W25768) highlights Italy’s Second World War M-series armour, notably the M-13/40 medium tank and the M-40 self-propelled gun used by the Royal Army. The M-13/40 carried a 47 mm cannon and is recognised for its distinctive track and suspension layout and protective “bolted” armour. On the same chassis, the casemate-mounted M-40 fielded a 75 mm howitzer that was widely respected by opposing armoured units.
Operational experience showed that pairing M-13/40 tanks with self-propelled guns offset the tank’s limited firepower, delivering better battlefield results. Across the conflict, both vehicle types received ongoing refinements in armament and technical solutions.
Key Highlights
- M-13/40 tank with 47 mm gun, “bolted” armour, and unique track/suspension.
- M-40 Semovente mounting a 75 mm howitzer in a casemate.
- Combined employment improved effectiveness against enemy armour.
- Continuous wartime improvements to design and weaponry.
Secured by Stripe
Armed with a 75mm howitzer mounted in a casemate, it was greatly feared by enemy armoured vehicles. The best results were achieved through the combined use of M-13/40 tanks accompanied by self-propelled guns, which compensated for the tank's limited firepower. Throughout the war, both tanks and self-propelled guns saw improvements in technical solutions and armament.
