Self-propelled M42 da75/18

In the years preceding the Second World War, the Royal Army demonstrated the need for mechanized artillery units capable of supporting infantry and armored units. The 75/18 self-propelled gun was developed on the chassis of the “M” medium tank and proved to be the Italian armored vehicle most feared by the Allies during the conflict. In fact, thanks to its 75mm howitzer installed in the casemate, it proved to be an effective anti-tank weapon capable of destroying even the most powerful and heavily armored English and American tanks. In addition to its good firepower, much superior to that of the M-13 and M-14 tanks, the “Semovente” was appreciated for its low profile which made it more difficult to spot and its overall good driving performance. It was used by the Royal Army in Africa and on Italian territory and subsequently, confirming its good characteristics, by some departments of the Wehrmacht after 8 September 1943.

Italian medium tank used by the Royal Army during the Second World War.

It was characterized by a riveted structure with bogey-style wheels, and a leaf spring suspension. It was armed with a 47 mm gun equipped with an innovative hydraulic turret, never operated in Italy. It was produced in about 800 units starting from July 1943, fighting mainly alongside the German African Corps on the North African front. WE DO NOT SHIP TO THE CANARY ISLANDS

Italian/German 508CM COLONIALE TAMIYA - 37014 1:35

Italian/German 508CM COLONIALE TAMIYA 1:35. The Fiat 508CM is an Italian light military commercial vehicle of the interwar and World War II period. The weight of the vehicle was 890 kg, the length was 3,615 m and the width was not more than 1.5 meters. In turn, the height was 1.9 m with the roof open. The propulsion was provided by a single 4-cylinder Fiat 108 engine with a power of up to 30 hp. The maximum speed was up to 95 km / h. The presented vehicle was developed on the basis of a civilian car of the Fiat group called "Fiat 508". Its military versions - initially C and then also CM - were developed in 1937-1939. The CM version differed from the civilian version mainly in the modified shape of the body and reinforced suspension. The transmission was also provided by an engine with increased maximum power. The CM version was introduced in 1938 and shortly thereafter went into mass production, which continued until the end of the war. It is assumed that it was one of the most widely used vehicles of its class in the Italian Royal Army during World War II. It is worth adding that a special version of the 508 CM Coloniale was also produced, intended for use in East and North Africa. The car in this version had a larger fuel tank, had factory-fitted tires suitable for driving on sand, but was also longer (by about 40 cm) and significantly heavier than the standard version.

Thanks to its 75mm howitzer installed in the casemate, it proved to be an effective anti-tank weapon capable of destroying even the most powerful and heavily armored English and American tanks. During the war, however, the Royal Army requested the development of a version with increased offensive capacity. The 75/34 gun designed for anti-tank fire was therefore installed on the chassis of the M42 self-propelled tank. The first examples were distributed to Italian units in the spring of 1943. Thanks to its good operational performance, it was also used by German units of the Wehrmacht after the armistice in September 1943. WE DO NOT SHIP TO THE CANARY ISLANDS
