hey everyone
started a semovente , I was hoping for a Ottb build but I got to add some interior, because of the big opening .





















ciao

I have several of these in my stash, of which I plan to build at least one with the appropriate detailed interior so I wil be watching this one.

thanks Matthew, I eyeballed most details, not super accurate, but it's close enough for my aspirations

I got most details from

http://www.ambbrescia.com/photofile/Veicoli_terrestri_uniformi/_1/m75_18sum41/m41_75_18.html

and I writen my title wrong Italeri semovente M41 , it should be

the kit makes a M41, with some changes, and a M40 with some more work
I already have a M13/40 and M41 version

Great updates so far. Seems like even without your add-ons the Italeri kit has more details to offer than Tamiya's.

Cheers!

it has, and with a little TLC you have a nice model Ottb
with some scracthing you can make different versions
only BIG drawback on both kits, is the lack of single link tracks
Model victorio has a set, Fruils have too, but I don't want to buy 26 euor tracks on a 10 euro kit


I'll have to do with then nervewrecking vinyl tracks.
