Scale 1/35 L6/40 Light Tank Assembly Kit

The Italeri 6553S provides a 1/35 scale model of the Carro Armato L6/40, an Italian light tank introduced in 1938. Despite becoming outmoded during WWII, the L6/40 served in multiple theatres including North Africa, Russia and mainland Italy.

The kit reproduces exterior features such as the Breda 20mm armament and notes on the SPA 18D engine that propelled the original to approximately 42 km/h. It is supplied for glue-and-paint assembly so modellers can produce a historically themed display model.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes
  • Paint and Decals: Not Included

What should I watch for when building the turret?

Check turret fit to the hull and ensure the gun mantlet aligns before final gluing. Small adjustments during dry fitting will avoid gaps and improve the finished look.

Do the tracks require special handling?

Handle track links carefully during assembly; use gentle bending to match the suspension geometry and glue in sections for consistent tension and realistic sag where appropriate.

Are decals included or do I need to source markings?

This kit does not include decals, so plan markings before painting and consider aftermarket decal sheets if you want specific unit insignia or more marking options.
