Hi there
I guess that was me.
There's a piece of film footage showing a Fiat-Ansaldo M40-75/18 75mm
Semovente
in use by 3rd Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery during the Savio
River crossing in October 1944.
I built the Italeri kit using the footage as documentation. Basically
it has the AoS number '44' chalked in several places on the hull, the
word 'CANADA' chalked on the side and the word 'ZOMBIE' painted on the
fenders.
If I can borrow a digital camera, I'll try and shoot the model AND the
original footage.
Steve
