The Tamiya 1/35 Carro Armato M13/40 Italian Medium Tank (35296) reproduces Italy's principal medium tank of the early war period — the M13/40 that formed the backbone of Italian armoured units in North Africa during the crucial desert campaigns of 1940–43. Armed with a 47mm gun and 13mm armour, it was a competent design by the standards of the late 1930s but struggled against the increasingly capable British and later American tanks it faced.

Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures the M13/40's distinctive turret and hull shape with historical accuracy, making it an interesting and less commonly available North Africa subject.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate M13/40 with 47mm anti-tank gun
• Distinctive Italian medium tank hull and turret
• North Africa Regio Esercito marking options
• Complements Tamiya's Allied North Africa subjects
• An unusual Italian WWII armour subject for collectors
