Product Name: 1:35 Semovente L 40 47/32

The self-propelled gun L40 was developed based on the light tank L6/40 to provide the fast corps of the Royal Army with an armored vehicle capable of delivering necessary artillery support and serving as a tank destroyer. Based on the design of the L6/40 tank, the rotating turret was removed, and the anti-tank gun 47/32 Mod. 1935 was installed in an open casemate, similar to the tanks of the "M" series. The self-propelled gun was characterized by its small size, typical Italian production armor with plates and rivets, and a crew of only two men. Although its performance was no longer sufficient to combat enemy armored vehicles, it was used by the Royal Army during World War II in Libya, Tunisia, and the Italian campaign. After the armistice, some units were deployed in the second line with the ground troops of the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe.
