Pre-Order

The 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.
The production of Italian tanks during the Second World War focused on the "M" series. The M-13/40 was the most famous and widely used tank of the Royal Army. Equipped with a 47mm cannon, it was notable for its unique track and suspension structure and for the protective "bolted" armour. On its chassis, the self-propelled gun M-40 was also developed.

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.
