Historical Summary of the AB 40

The Italeri 6482S 1/35 scale AB 40 Armored Car model kit enables enthusiasts to build a faithful replica of an Italian armoured vehicle from the late 1930s. Originally developed for the Italian Royal Army to replace earlier Lancia types, the AB 40 featured four-wheel drive, separate suspensions and dual driving positions, showing notable engineering for its era.
