1:35 SEMOVENTE M42 DA75/34
Part#37029

Description
Among the various native armor fielded by Italian forces in WWII,
the Semovente M40 da75/18 was perhaps the most successful, and
it formed the base for the improved M42 da75/34 depicted by this
model. The M15/42 medium tank provided the basic chassis, while
superior penetration was achieved by the L/34 75mm gun. Although
production began in Spring 1943, most vehicles ended up in German
hands following the Italian armistice with the Allies in
September of that year. They were mainly deployed in anti-tank
units attached to German Infantry Divisions, and their low
profile and powerful gun ensured that they were a threat to the
enemy, particularly in ambushes; they fought until the German
surrender of May 1945.
