1:72 IBG Models 72095 Autocannone 3Ro & Ammunition Vehicle 2-in-1 WWII - Italian Artillery Truck Plastic Model kit

With the 1:72 IBG Models 72095 Autocannone 3Ro & Ammunition Vehicle 2-in-1, you can build a distinctive version of one of Italy's most important heavy trucks of the Second World War. The Lancia 3Ro was renowned for its simple, robust construction and reliability, becoming a vital workhorse of the Royal Italian Army. This 2-in-1 model kit lets you build the 3Ro as an Autocannone artillery truck or ammunition vehicle, making it an excellent addition to an Italian WWII diorama.

The 3Ro was developed as part of the Ro truck family and featured a 5.9-litre five-cylinder diesel engine producing up to 95 hp, combined with a five-speed manual transmission. Weighing approximately 5.6 tonnes and measuring 7.08 metres long and 2.35 metres wide, it was a rugged heavy-duty vehicle. Around 9,500 military examples were produced in numerous configurations, including cargo, troop, tank, horse and fuel transporters. Self-propelled artillery versions were also created, mounting weapons such as the 100/17 100mm howitzer and powerful 90/53 90mm anti-aircraft gun.

The 3Ro served in Greece, the Balkans, North Africa and on the Eastern Front. Following the Italian armistice of 8 September 1943, large numbers were taken over by the German Wehrmacht, while several captured vehicles even served with Allied forces, including the heavy section of the LRDG. You are therefore adding much more than an Italian truck to your collection: you are recreating a vehicle with a remarkably varied operational history.
