Today is just a quick post as I need to pack up ready to go to a Convention tomorrow.

I had this Italian M 41 Fiat – Ansaldo Command Tank in the bits box because it was missing the turret. I decided I was going to throw it out and then I thought maybe they produced a turret-less command version. There are several model versions available including this one from Mirliton.

The M14/41, named for its weight and production year, was also called the “M41” and saw 752 units built, surpassing the M13/40.

Although not quite correct it will pass the 24 inch test which is all I am after.

By early 1943, it was outdated and replaced by the improved M15/42, which featured a stronger engine, better armor, and a more powerful 47 mm gun. The new gun was introduced in 1942, replacing the M35, and most M14/41s were upgraded in the field.

Tomorrow an update on Arcanacon.
