Scale Replica of the Italian P40 Heavy Tank by Tamiya 89792

The Tamiya 89792 kit captures the Italian Heavy Tank P40 in precise 1/35 scale, reflecting the vehicle's heavy construction and wartime profile. Key characteristics reproduced include the riveted hull, sloping armour plates and bogey-type running gear with leaf springs, offering a convincing period model for display.

The kit package contains assembly tracks and photo-etched components for delicate items such as exhaust screens and jerry can racks, together with decal sheets for three configurations including the Fiat Ansaldo prototype and German-operated variants. An aftermarket 1/35 metal gun barrel is sold separately for builders wanting extra muzzle detail.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 165mm
  • Riveted hull and sloped armor
  • Leaf spring suspension
  • Photo-etched parts included
  • Assembly type tracks

How should I approach painting the riveted hull?

Prime the model, then use thin layers of base colour and a wash to define rivets and panel seams. Light dry-brushing on raised edges helps highlight the riveted structure without overdoing it.

Are replacement barrels worth fitting?

A metal gun barrel can sharpen the muzzle profile and is a common upgrade for display pieces. Ensure secure seating and check for alignment before final gluing.

What finish options match historical schemes?

Historical finishes range from plain olive tones to mixed theatre schemes used on converted vehicles. Research period photographs to select a scheme, then use subtle weathering to suggest service wear.
