Accurate 1/35 Carro Armato L6/40 Scale Kit

The Italeri 6553S kit models the Carro Armato L6/40 in 1/35 scale, a light tank introduced in 1938 that saw service in campaigns across Africa, Russia and on the Italian mainland. The kit focuses on the external silhouette and period features of the vehicle.

Details include the Breda 20mm main armament and references to the SPA 18D engine which gave the original a top speed near 42 km/h. The parts require assembly and painting so modellers can execute a historically styled finish appropriate to the era.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes
  • Paint and Decals: Not Included
Yes, the scale and level of external detail make the kit a good candidate for small dioramas showing period terrain and simple scenic basing, once painted and weathered.
Use standard plastic model cement or liquid polystyrene glue, fine files, hobby knives and tweezers for precision. A steady hand and small brushes help when painting fine details.
Apply a base coat and then build up washes, subtle drybrushing and light chipping to suggest wear. Work in thin layers so panel lines and rivet detail remain visible.
