QuoteOnce Tony has returned from a bit of time off I'll start working up the next batches of work and the Italians need to be in there I think.

We had a chap today asking about this armoured car/truck as well: https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/italy/dovunque-35-blindato-apc/

It's the wrong one, it is the Fiat 665N armoured truck that they built 110 of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_665NM_protetto
that we want models of.
Each Armoured Division was to have 94 of them, including 30 in one Bersaglieri battalion, 10 in a divisional recce company, 24 as gun tows for divisional 75mm field guns, some others for HQs and 47/32 ATG. In the end they all ended up in Yugoslavia on anti-partisan duties, but we can fudge things a bit for a 1943 army.

There was also an armoured version of the Fiat 626 that was used in North Africa:

The truck on which it is based, though, was apparently widely used by the Italians in North Africa and Russia and by the Germans after Italy joined the Allies.

Aye, and is already made by Pendraken ITA8.
It's the light trucks, AS37 and TL37 series that the range is also short of.

And when we ask for Bersaglieri, that includes those on motorcycles and motorcycle combinations  ;)

I'll let you tell the customer then, he said he wanted 20 of the Dovunque for his army!  He'd have more than they actually made it seems...
