1/35 Scale L6/40 Historical Model

The Italeri 6553S kit reproduces the Carro Armato L6/40 in 1/35 scale, reflecting the Italian light tank first produced in 1938. Modellers can recreate a vehicle that saw service in varied environments, from desert operations to campaigns in Eastern Europe and on Italian soil.

This kit highlights the Breda 20mm gun and references to the SPA 18D powerplant which enabled the original to reach roughly 42 km/h. Parts are supplied for assembly so builders can focus on accurate construction and paintwork to show period detail.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes
  • Paint and Decals: Not Included

How accurate is this kit to the original L6/40?

The kit focuses on external accuracy with parts that match common reference photos, showing identifiable features such as the turret and hull lines typical of the L6/40 family.

Is this model suitable for someone new to armour kits?

Beginners with patience can complete this kit, but expect small parts and fine fits. Basic modelling tools and steady hands will make the build smoother.

Can I add weathering to match combat wear?

Yes, use washes, drybrushing and subtle chipping to capture wear and grime typical of wartime field use. Apply thin layers to keep fine detail visible.
