After posting the news on the new AFV Club releases I suddenly realised, what is an M40?, now I know it's SP Arty, it looks as if its on an M4 chassis, beyond that, nada de nada. Can someone explain a bit more to me?...Yours confused, Jim

Once again Vodnik is faster than me to answer a post ! With the same answer ! I must practice harder..

BTW I wish I could soon get one M40 kit for a Korean dio, it's quite impressive....

I've seen tons of those, just never nw what they were called. My initial thought was that Italian WW2 tank but that probably was called something else
