Detailed 1/35 AB43 Armoured Car Replica

Originating from the Italian AB41 and developed by Fiat in the late 1930s, the AB43 variant was refined during the war with upgraded engines and exhaust systems. The Tamiya 89697 kit reproduces these engineering updates in scale for collectors and modellers.

Key Build Features and Display Options

The kit includes two crew figures for realistic scenes, a turret hatch that can be built open or closed, adjustable headlight covers and large diameter tyres with side-mounted spares to mirror the original vehicle.

Scale: 1/35
Assembly Type: Unassembled kit
Paint and Decals: Included for German and Italian markings
Chassis: 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steering with independent suspension

What tools and adhesives are recommended?

Standard plastic cement, fine tweezers and hobby knives are useful; a small file set and precision cutters will make assembly of fine parts much easier.

Are aftermarket upgrades available for this kit?

There are third-party detail sets and weathering accessories from specialist suppliers; check fitment notes before buying to ensure compatibility with Tamiya 89697 components.

Is the finished model suitable for display only?

Yes, this is a static scale model intended for display and diorama use rather than radio control; it focuses on accurate scale detail and finish.
