About the actual vehicle
During World War II, the Italian Army deployed and operated the Carlo Armato medium tank and the Semovente assault gun based on it. The Carlo Armato was Italy's first full-fledged medium tank, officially adopted in 1939, and was developed almost simultaneously as an improved version of the M11/39. The development period was shortened by enlarging the M11/39 chassis and using the same suspension as before. It was equipped with a fully rotating turret on top of the hull and mounted a 47mm tank gun as its main armament. It was officially adopted as the M13/40 in 1940. The following year, 1941, an improved version with a more powerful engine was developed. It was officially adopted under the name M14/41.
Based on that chassis, the upper part of the chassis with a rotating turret was removed, and a new fixed fighting compartment was installed. An assault gun was then developed, equipped with an 18-caliber 75mm howitzer, the da 75/18. Vehicles using the chassis of the Carlo Armato's M13/40 were officially adopted as the M40 da 75/18. Furthermore, vehicles using the chassis of the M14/41 were officially adopted as the M41 da 75/18. It proved effective in fire support and anti-tank combat, including ambush attacks from a low stance. It is said to be the most successful Italian combat vehicle of World War II.
About the model

The differences between them are faithfully reproduced. Of course, the undercarriage and hull shape are also realistically reproduced.
