About product

AS.42 Sahariana 1:35 (Italeri)

The real subject

The AS.42 Sahariana was an Italian desert reconnaissance and raiding vehicle of the Second World War, developed for the fighting in North Africa. It was based on the chassis and running gear of the AB 41 armored car and was adapted for long-range patrols in the desert - the low silhouette let it take cover behind dunes, and its great range (boosted by fuel cans) allowed long independent expeditions. It was the Italian counterpart of the British LRDG and SAS jeeps. The armament differed from vehicle to vehicle according to the task - usually 20 mm Breda or Solothurn cannons, a 12.7 mm Breda machine gun or the 47/32 anti-tank gun.

Building and painting tips

An open vehicle means many visible details - it is a good idea to paint and weather the interior, the weapons, the fuel cans and the equipment section by section, before the final assembly. Glue the small parts with liquid cement for plastic and a light touch. Choose Italian desert shades (sand or yellow-brown) with heavy wear - dust, paint faded by the sun, abrasion by sand. Washes and pigments show to superb effect here on the tires, the floor and the equipment. Check the particular period camouflage scheme and markings against the real vehicle before spraying.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Italian vehicles and of the fighting in North Africa
  • Modelers who love open vehicles full of detail and equipment
  • Fans of long-range desert patrols (the counterpart of the LRDG and SAS)
  • A rewarding subject for desert weathering and display

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
