Italian SPG in Africa

D
uring a conversation with a
friend, we came up with the
idea of producing a small
diorama showing an Italian
Semovente M40,
deployed to North Africa
in January 1942. The build
that followed featured a
vehicle assigned to the
5th Semovente Gruppo
and that fought at Bir
Hakeim, Libya in May of
- The kit I used for the
build was the 1:35 Italeri ofering, to which
I added quite a few aftermarket products,
including a set of Friul Model metal tracks,
an RB Models gun barrel and a superb Model
Victoria etch and resin
detail set which gives
you part for both the
interior and exterior
of the vehicle.
