their tanks may not be up to much , but this should deal with any allied armour easily, shame they didn't produce that many. it's the Italian Cannone da 90/53
Its the Italian equivalent of the German 88mm and is produced by Italeri in their semi hard, semi glueable plastic. It's a nice crisp model and a reasonable crew (I've kept some to use with my other Italian guns). I've painted the guns/crews as if they have just been diverted to Tunisia in 1943.
At some stage Italeri will produce a version on the Lancia 3RO truck and the truck will be really useful and I'll probably end up with left over guns, but I still thought I'd rather bu the guns now rather than wait (I'm sure that's why Italeri are releasing them in this order).

Good stuff - the page you linked to showed that the Italians were thinking about putting it on a truck Portee style now that would be a nice model, never mind the SPG idea it mentions at the end!
Very nice. Hacing spent a lot of time in Greece over the years, I'm keen to see how your WW2 Greek theatre project comes along. The buildings are looking very good.
Best wishes
