Very nice model, 2 versions of painting.

The Carro Armato M14/41 was an Italian medium tank from the World War II era. Mass production took place between 1941 and 1942, resulting in the manufacture of approximately 750–800 vehicles of this type. The vehicle measured roughly 4.92 meters in length and 2.3 meters in width, with a height of about 2.35 meters. Its combat weight was 14.5 tons. It was powered by a single 8-cylinder SPA 8TB M41 engine producing up to 145 hp, enabling a top road speed of around 33 km/h. Its main armament was the 47 mm Cannone da 47/32 mod. 1935 gun, while its secondary armament consisted of four 8 mm Breda machine guns.

The Carro Armato M14/41 was developed for the Italian armed forces as an evolutionary successor to the M13/40 tank. Compared to its predecessor, it featured a more powerful and mechanically reliable engine, slightly improved hull armor, and a redesigned hull. However, the Carro Armato M14/41 still suffered from the same significant flaws as its predecessor: it was mechanically unreliable, lacked an ergonomic interior (making the crew's work difficult), and possessed armor vulnerable to penetration by most Allied anti-tank guns of the period. Vehicles of this type saw service primarily in North Africa between 1941 and 1943, where they were outclassed by Allied M3 Lee/Grant and M4 Sherman tanks. Production of the Semovente M40 da 75/18 self-propelled gun, based on the M14/41 chassis, began in 1942. It is worth noting that a number of M14/41 tanks were seized by the Germans in 1943, and at least a few of them were used to suppress the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
