Carro Armato L6/40 Italian light tank No. 96553

L6/40 Armed Carriage Plastic model kit of a tank to be assembled by gluing and painted. The Fiat L6/40 light tank was widely used by the Royal Italian Army during World War II. Designed in the late 1930s for forward reconnaissance and infantry support missions, it had a crew of two: the driver and the commander, who also operated the gun. Entering service in 1941, it had good speed and could be used against light vehicles and lightly armored targets, but it was ineffective against better-armored vehicles. The L6's main armament consisted of a turret-mounted 20 mm Breda 20/65 Mod. 1935 gun and a coaxial 8 mm Breda 38 machine gun. The L6/40 light tank was used on several fronts, including North Africa, the Balkans, and the Eastern Front. • Model length: 11cm. • New packaging. • New decal sheet. • Injection-molded plastic tracks (independent sections and runners).
