opens the box on one of the re-released European Buildings series.
Chieftain Models - with the help of Artizan Designs - will be releasing the Cannone 90/53 su autocarro Lancia 3RO at Salute.
Initially designed as an anti-aircraft gun, the 90/53 was quickly found to be the most powerful antitank gun in North Africa, even exceeding the abilities of the German 88.
Mounted on the chassis of a Lancia 3RO, this versatile artillery piece was given the mobility needed in the North African campaign, and was again seen in Sicily and Italy - sometimes in German hands.
The vehicle is pewter and is scaled to 1/56th. Five Italian crew figures are included, plus some shells and spent cases.
The price is £32.00 GBP.
