M14/40 Italian Medium Tank 1/35 Scale - WWII Modelling Kit

The M14/40 medium tank served with Italian forces in World War II and saw service in North Africa and other theatres. Its riveted hull and leaf spring suspension are signature features, while the 47mm main gun and a 125 hp liquid-cooled diesel V8 provided performance figures with a top speed of about 30 km/h.
