to depict a tank from the 133ª Divisione corazzata "Littorio" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/133rd_Armored_Division_%22Littorio%22)

The 133rd Littorio armoured Divisions took part in the Battle of Mersa Matruh and was destroyed during the Second Battle of El Alamein (23 October – 11 November 1942).
The remnants merged into the Ariete Tactical Group, which continued fighting in Libya and Tunisia into April 1943.

A quick look inside the box:

I should probably finish mine ... It's only been sitting around for 11 years.  ::)

Oh, man - that is nice, I'm both inspired and shamed.
