Lancia 3 Ro w 90/53 a/a Gun (Italeri) reviewed

Good news: the truck is in "hard" plastics, like common Italeri kits.

Bad news: the 90 mm. gun is the same already seen in soft plastics. Therefore ranging from very difficult to impossible to be glued, modified and painted.
Artillerymen are somewhat well sculpted, a bit too tall for the period and the country. The helmet reminds the Russian type, more than the Italian M33 helmet.
The vehicle can only be displayed in "combat" mode, not for transport.

One striking detail -even in 1/72 scale - is the high silhouette on the ground of the Autocannone (truck-mounted gun), which confirms wartime reports from Northern Africa of its size as a "magnet" for enemy aircrafts and artillery fire.

Final mystery (for the experts out there): the top of the cab (on the interior) has a pin-mark with the number "2". Does this mean there will be different types of cabs? Therefore different types of Lancia 3 Ro versions?
