Also, views of the casting process.


Wonder if Pendraken's sweat shopluxury workspace looks anything like this?
Funny for me hearing that they were making them in Hornsey back in the 1960s - after that I think the plastic deetail ranges were from the far east.

For some reason, I have a burning need to know what all those books are behind Peter Cushing's painting table....

In the 'piccy' above (a bit).....How many men did the one labeled "Italian tanks for Arabia" hold ?
It looks tiny.....But that might be my awful 3D perspective coming to the fore, again.

They were the only Italian tanks sent to Russia, and pretty useless.

It doesn't look (erm)......terribly special, even to my untutored eyes ! What was its weaponry ?.....Or were the Russians just supposed to fall about laughing, and ignore it.
What on Earth was the point of it ?  :o :o :o

It's Fiat's take on the Renault FT, originally armed with two MGs but later upgunned to a 37mm.

It's on a par with the FT or the Pz1 or Vickers Mk VI and like them was pretty much obsolete before war began.

Mlost CV-33 had twin MG, some a 20mm ATR, and a few with a flamethower, you can tell cause it's towing a trailer. 8th Army knocked many out with Boys ATR's

The CV33 became the L3, the tank in the video looks to be a Fiat 3000 which became the L5.

Some of these are part of the WW2 series produced by Mark Felton.   Well worth a view as they
cover some very obscure topics (eg. US and Switzerland coming to blows...).

I've seen a couple of videos on Italian 'Armour' and think the tankers must have been very brave
to actually use the things in action.   I wonder what the tankers themselves thought of them...

Mind you, British armour was not up to much in the early years of WW2 either.   I couldn't believe
the small size of the Vickers VIB (Duxford Imperial War Museum).   Of course we have the advantage
of hindsight and perhaps compare them with the late war armoured monsters.

War certainly provides a hell of an incentive to make scientific progress...
