1/35 Autoblinda Ab 40 Italeri 6482

The AB 40 armoured car was devised for the Italian RoyalArmy in the late 1930s; to replace the old Lancia models. The vehicle was innovative at the time; being a four-wheel drive with separate suspensions and two driving positions. The armoured car was fitted with two 8mm machine guns in the turret and another in the rear of the hull; but was only built in small numbers for evaluation purposes; as development of the more sophisticated AB 41 was already underway.
