The Italeri HC-6759 Semovente M42 da 75/34 Upgraded in 1:35 scale captures one of Italy’s most capable World War II self-propelled guns. This upgraded kit combines fine detail with enhanced parts, including a metal barrel and photo-etched components, and provides decal options to depict Italian Regio Esercito or German service vehicles.

Historical Overview

Developed from the successful Semovente 75/18 built on the ‘M’ series medium tank hull, the M42 mounting the 75/34 cannon delivered greater offensive power. The 75/34, originally designed for anti-tank duties, was fitted to the M42 self-propelled chassis, with initial deliveries to the Italian Army in spring 1943. Following the September 1943 armistice, its effective battlefield performance saw it adopted by German anti-tank battalions as well.

At the end of the 1930s, the Italian Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army) began to deploy self-propelled artillery guns to provide support for tanks and infantry units. The ‘Semovente’ 75/18 was developed on the back of the ‘M’ series medium tank hull and soon became the most feared Italian armoured vehicle. In addition to its primary artillery role, the 75mm howitzer installed in the casemate proved to be a highly effective anti-tank weapon, capable of destroying even the most powerful and heavily armoured British and American tanks. During the war, however, the Italian Regio Esercito requested the development of a version with increased offensive capability. The 75/34 cannon, which was originally designed for an anti-tank role, was fitted to the hull of the M42 self-propelled tank. The initial units were distributed to the Italian Army in the spring of 1943. As a result of its effective operational performance, it was also used by German anti-tank battalions after the armistice in September 1943.
