Une maquette de chez Zvezda le "L- 4500 S Einheitskabine Truck".

Since middle of WWII Germany had a shortage of metal, therefore a series of simplifications were introduced since 1943 in the manufacturing process of vehicles. These resulted in a design change of the 4,5t heavy truck: front fenders made from simple metal sheets, cabin was made from plywood on wooden frame, front bumper and rear fenders were deleted. This simple variant (called Einheitskabine) was manufactured until the end of war. These trucks were in service even several years after the end of war for many civilian purposes.

Semovente L40 da 47/32

A kit of the brand Italeri the "Semovente L40 da 47/32".

Semovente L40 da 47/32 This small tank destroyer was developed by the Italian Royal Army on the basis of the hull of the light L6/40 tank. It was equipped with a 47mm cannon placed in a casemate and although it provided a good ballistic performance, when it was first put into service in 1941 it was inadequate to attack most of the enemy’s tanks. The same hull was used to develop a commando version equipped with a radio to coordinate the action of armoured vehicles. The 47/32 L40 self-propelled tank, manufactured in around 300 copies, was widely used in the final part of the war in North Africa. After the armistice agreed in September 1943, the vehicles in Italy that survived the war were seized and used by the German army.
