Italeri 6599 1/35 Carro Armato P 40 - scale reproduction

The Italeri 6599 in 1/35 scale recreates the Carro Armato P 40 with crisp surface detail and faithful proportions. It is intended for modellers who appreciate historically informed armour kits and a meticulous build process.

Historical background and design

The P 40 represented Italy's attempt to field a heavier armoured vehicle during the Second World War. Though numbers were small, the silhouette and structural choices are well captured by this kit for those interested in the period.

Assembly tips for precision modelling

Injection-moulded components provide good detail but benefit from careful trimming, test-fitting and a steady application of adhesive. Moderate experience with glue and painting will make the project much more enjoyable.

Ideal uses and display advice

Once finished, the model suits shelf display or integration into dioramas depicting WWII themes. Its 1/35 scale makes it a practical match for other contemporary vehicle models.

Kit details

  • Scale: 1/35 scale
  • Material: durable plastic components
  • Assembly: requires model glue for construction
  • Paint: painting required to complete finish
No additional mechanical parts are required, but you may choose aftermarket detail sets or photo-etch for extra realism if you prefer enhanced detailing.
The kit offers accurate shapes and surface detail appropriate for the scale. It stands well against similar 1/35 armour kits in terms of fidelity and part definition.
Weathering, washes and subtle drybrushing help bring out panel lines and surface features. Use reference photos to guide paint and ageing techniques.
