I already have the one that was produced many years ago by Tony but this gives me the ability to make the command variant. So I will have to get at least one of them.

The M13/40 Medium Tank was conceived as an answer to the shortcomings of the M11/39 and L6/40. Delivery began in late 1940, and the first units were sent to North Africa for use against the British. It mounted a 47mm gun, which was to prove superior to the British 2 pdr. Almost 800 were manufactured, which made the M13/40 the most numerous Italian tank of the war.

A resin-and-metal kit, parts are included to construct either the turreted version or the command version. Our kit features a crewman and a detailed interior - the engine covers may be left open, exposing the engines. Priced at $30.00 USD.
