A Unique Design Makes the AS42 Sahariana Reconnaissance Vehicle Attractive in 1/35 Scale

This is a plastic model assembly kit reproducing the wheeled reconnaissance vehicle AS42 Sahariana developed by the Italian army during World War II in 1/35 scale.

About the Real Vehicle:
The AS42 Sahariana was a wheeled reconnaissance vehicle developed and operated by the Italian army for operations on the African front during World War II. It was built on the chassis of the Outbrinda AB40/41 model 4-wheel armored vehicle, with a newly designed body mounted on it. The open-top structure features a driver's seat located centrally at the front, and various heavy weapons could be mounted in the center of the body according to its intended use. The vehicle's drivetrain was 4-wheel drive, and with its independent suspension and large-diameter tires, it exhibited high mobility. Additionally, it was designed to carry a large quantity of supplies for long-distance and long-duration missions, with 20 drinking water and fuel cans mounted on both sides of the body and 4 cans at the front. Production began in 1942. It was active not only on the North African front but throughout various theaters of the war thereafter.
