  • Italian P40 Heavy Tank (German PzKfw P40 737(i))

    The development of this Heavy "Pesante" Tank started in 1940, hence P40. However by the time of the Italian Armistice in Sept. 1943 on one had been completed. Following the armistice the Germans occupied Fiat's Genoa factory and after taking the vehicle to Germany for trials, decided to continue production for their own use and to supply the Republica Sociale Italiana, the fascists who decided to continue fighting the Allies. Records show that 101 vehicles were built and supplied to Panzer units in Italy with 3 being operated by the RSI. The first known combat was against British forces in Northern Italy and some, without their engines, were encountered on the Gothic Line and on the Tuscan coast. Interestingly some saw combat in Yugoslavia against the Partizans. Their last known action was when the 10th Polizei Panzer Kompanie surrendered 15 P40s to the Americans on the Austrian border at the end of the war.

    The Breda MG shown on the vehicle in one picture is from our Italian Solothurn S1100 Anti-Tank Gun & Breda 8mm M1937 MG set. Please see Related Products below for more information.

  • Italian L3/CV35 Tankette with twin 8mm Breda MG's

    This Tankette was based on the British Carden Loyd Mk.VI of which the Italians purchased 25 in 1929. Our model depicts the CV35, which along with some CV38's and the earlier CV33, accounted for 75% of Italian tank formations encountered by the British in late 1940 and early 1941. They first saw service in the Spanish Civil War, being used by the Nationalists. Later they saw action in Somalia, Abyssinia, France, Albania, Greece, Crete, Russia, N. Africa, Sicily, the Italian mainland and in the Balkans. Although clearly inadequate for the task, they remained in service, being used by the RSI after the armistice, until the end of hostilities. The model shown here has the twin 8mm Breda MG's but some vehicles were fitted with the 20mm Solothurn also available as kit BIT03.
