Italeri 6530 1/35 Scale AS.42 Sahariana Military Model Kit  [IT-6530S]

Snapshot: AS.42 Sahariana in 1/35 by Italeri

The Italeri 1/35 AS.42 Sahariana kit recreates an Italian long-range reconnaissance car designed for desert patrols. Based on the AB 41 armored car undercarriage, the AS.42 combined a low silhouette with large wheels to handle sandy ground and rough tracks common in North African operations.

Combat role and adaptable mounts

As a wartime scout and raider, the AS.42 was used to probe enemy positions and carry out swift strikes. The vehicle could carry weapons such as the Breda 20/65 or the 47/32, allowing crews to tailor armament to mission needs. The model presents those flexible fit options faithfully.

Why model builders choose this kit

This Italeri release targets hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly and authentic detail. Photo-etched parts are supplied to enhance surfaces and fittings, and the completed model makes a strong display example of desert-era Italian vehicles.
