Italian Autocannone 3Ro truck and ammunition carrier (2 in 1) 1:72 IBG 72095

Plastic military model kit: Italian truck Autocannone 3Ro and ammunition carrier (2 in 1) 1:72 IBG 72095

This 1:72 scale model kit from IBG Models allows for the construction of two key vehicles of Italian logistics and artillery from World War II: the Autocannone 3Ro and an ammunition carrier based on the same chassis. The Lancia 3Ro was one of the most reliable and versatile trucks used by the Regio Esercito.

The Lancia 3Ro debuted in 1938 as an evolution of earlier Ro and Ro-Ro designs. The vehicle was powered by a robust 95 HP diesel engine, which, combined with a durable chassis, made it an ideal platform for various superstructures. The Autocannone version served as a mobile platform for heavy anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns (most commonly 90 mm caliber), playing a significant role during the North African campaign, where the mobility of artillery was key to success in the desert terrain.

• Double kit (2 in 1) allowing for the construction of two different vehicles.
• High detail quality characteristic of new IBG Models forms.
• Faithful representation of the chassis and drivetrain of the Lancia 3Ro truck.
• Specialized superstructure of the ammunition carrier with a characteristic frame.
• Autocannone version with a combat platform and retractable stabilizing supports.

These vehicles participated in battles on all fronts where the Italian army was engaged, including in Greece, the Balkans, and the Soviet Union. After Italy's capitulation in 1943, many units were seized and successfully used by the German Wehrmacht.
