Italeri 6599 1/35 Carro Armato P 40 - accurate scale kit

The Italeri 6599 1/35 kit presents the Carro Armato P 40 with faithful form and surface detail. It is intended for modellers who value authentic WWII armour reproductions and a satisfying build challenge.

Brief history and significance

Developed as a heavier tank option during the Second World War, the P 40 saw limited production but remains of interest for its design. This kit focuses on the defining aspects that appeal to military modelling enthusiasts.

What to expect when building

The moulded components offer good definition but require careful trimming, test-fitting and adhesive application. Intermediate modelling skills will help you achieve neat joins and correct alignment.

Display and collecting notes

Completed, the model makes a fine display piece and complements other 1/35 scale vehicles. It works well in either a standalone display or as part of a themed collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35 scale
  • Material: quality plastic model parts
  • Assembly: requires glue to construct
  • Paint: finishing requires painting
Yes, painting is necessary to bring out the model's detail and to match historical finishes. Primer, base coats and weathering improve authenticity.
This kit is better suited to modellers with some prior experience. Newcomers can tackle it but should allow extra time and consider simpler kits first.
Use careful sanding of sprue marks, thin layers of paint and subtle washes to enhance panel lines. Drybrushing highlights raised surfaces for a realistic effect.
