Product Description

[Italian-born masterpiece self-propelled artillery with increased awesomeness]
--Of all the weapons operated by the Italian army during World War II, the Semovente M40da 75/18, a self-propelled artillery based on the M13 / 40 medium tank, was trusted as the most successful vehicle.
――The M42da75 / 34 is a further improvement and development of this self-propelled gun.
--The M15 / 42 medium tank with improved engine output has been newly selected for the base of the body, and it is equipped with a long-barreled 34-caliber 75mm gun with excellent penetration. Mass production began in the spring of 1943, but due to the surrender of Italy in September of the same year, many were put into operation as equipment for the German army.
――The M42da75 / 34, which was mainly deployed in the anti-tank unit of the infantry division, makes use of the power of the low body and the long barrel 75mm cannon, and demonstrates its power in ambush attacks.
--The battle continued until May 1945, when the German army on the Italian front surrendered.
