Italeri 1/35 AS.42 Sahariana model summary

The Italeri 1/35 AS.42 Sahariana kit allows modellers to build a faithful representation of an Italian reconnaissance vehicle used in desert campaigns. The AS.42 applied the AB 41 chassis with a design emphasis on a low profile and oversized wheels to traverse sandy and broken terrain.
