Italian WWII-ish vehicles

Couldn't find a pre-existing thread, so
here
we
go




Lince (above) compared to it's inspiration, the Daimler Dingo (below).
Differences; I saw rear fender 'can' style mufflers, a single gun ball mount like the M13/40s probably yoinked from an AB41** and an accordion roof (rather than two hatches) on the Italian copy. Spare tire (none on original) and radio mount at 3 o'clock (5 o'clock on original).




AB41 armored car. Note that the rearward machinegun has the same 'dome' on the roof, for top feeding machinegun magazine clearance.

Carro Armato P.43, an enlarged & updated version of the P.40.








Carro Armato P.43 Bis, a completely new design armed with a 90mm cannon.





Nether design progressed further then scale models due to the armistice with allied forces.
