A Fiat/Ansaldo M13/40 tank… alive and kicking! (1 Viewer)

[enricoquinto]

The Fiat-Ansaldo M13/40 tank was used by the Italian Army throughout the World war II.
“In the North African Campaign, a few captured M13 tanks were pressed into service by Australian forces and re-used by the Australian 2/6th Cavalry Regiment and the 6th Royal Tank Regiment, until the spring of 1941, when their fuel ran out and they were destroyed”.

Hi Enrico-

That's a nice one. Love the little kangaroo marking. You've got one hell of a collection. Some of your figures I don't even recognize.

I have the German version of the M13/40 Carro Armato and have always liked it:

Great little tank and I think it's a most unique design.

Interesting story..So they were not even worth to be refueled {sm4} In fact, italian tanks were real "ambulant coffins", they could be perforated by an heavy machine gun.

Dear Rob,

I completely agree with you. The M13/40 design has been very unique. I've appreciated the german version too. My collection will never be like yours. I'm very "novice collector"and still learning...{eek3}


Best regards

Enrico

Ps: I always love your shots
