Italeri 6482S 1/35 AB 40 Vintage Armoured Car Model  [IT-6482S]

AB 40 Armoured Car Background

The Italeri 6482S 1/35 scale AB 40 Armored Car kit lets modellers recreate a notable Italian vehicle from the late 1930s. Originally intended to replace older Lancia types for the Italian Royal Army, the AB 40 incorporated four-wheel drive, separate suspension for each wheel and dual driving stations, marking it out as a practical design of its time.

This model reflects the AB 40's distinctive fittings, such as the turret-mounted 8mm machine guns and the rear hull armament arrangement. Production was limited, yet the AB 40 set the stage for improved designs like the AB 41. The kit is engineered to highlight authentic shapes and fine exterior detail suitable for display builds.
