That seemed like a lot of gun on a truck bed without any supporting jacks so I had to ask Google about it ...
I would not have believed it otherwise ...
Interesting since there are other possibilities with that chassis: carrier for other guns, plain truck, armored truck, some sort of command post/mobile office.
I hope that IBG will maximise their return on investment by doing the other variants as well

I just love it!! bored of the tedium of German vehicles being done and endlessly repeated by all the companies.
I believe the LRDG used these trucks in the heavy supply trains, and please IBG, do the 90mm AA SPG version as well.

This would be an excellent choice for the "soft underbelly" or Italian Campaign build starting soon.
Nice work IBG !

Superb news, an italian truck at last!
Just hope it opens the way for more variants on this chasis and more italian vehicles from IBG and other brands, there are lots and lots of very attractive and interesting machines to be done in plastic.

Gotta love this release. IBG have really released a lot of interesting kits. This is no exception. I hope I can get it for a decent price. My poor bank account.
