Hi all!
As promised to Cliff (Mr Roo) this is my first contribution to the new forum.
The pics you see below are of a Rimorchio Viberti, a trailer designed to transport Italian tracked vehicles based on the M or L40 hulls.
Usually it was used in conjunction to the Lancia 3Ro and Fiat 666 trucks, and saw extensive use in Italy and North Africa.
The kit is in resin from Crielmodel , an Italian based resin kits manufacturer.











As usual comments, critics and suggestions are most welcome.
Ciao

now that is unusual and very nicely done. I especially like the weathering, complete with oil stains and wear you have put on the inside of the trailer.

Then to add the tank as well to show how it all fits togeather!.....excellent.

PS> is there any manufacterers who do complete kits of WW2 Italian trucks and other softskin vehicles?

Cliff,
thanks for your kind words. Here you go with a few manufacturers:

- Crielmodel makes the trailer, the Lancia 3Ro, the CL39 and many more including some truck mounted guns
- Model Victoria makes some unusual subjects too (they announced the Fiat 626 truck!) of superb quality
- Historica Productions makes the SPA Dovunque 35 and some more
Ciao

Very nice Fabio. Thanks for showing this to us. Also thanks for the link to the model shops. I see a couple of trucks that I would love to build.

very nice and a different type of kit.. one thing i'm curious about.. after loading where did the ramps stow at.. in the back of the truck, or were they kept on site at loading and unloading area's?

The ramps go under the tank itself after loading...
