1:72 IBG Models 72098 3Ro with 100mm Howitzer 100/17 WWII - Italian Artillery Truck Plastic Model kit

With the 1:72 IBG Models 72098 3Ro with 100mm Howitzer 100/17, you can build a distinctive Italian artillery truck from the Second World War. This unusual combination brought together the rugged Lancia 3Ro heavy truck and the 100 mm Obice da 100/17 howitzer. The result was an improvised mobile artillery vehicle designed to increase the mobility of field artillery and provide advancing troops with rapid fire support.

The Lancia 3Ro was produced from 1938 until 1950 and, thanks to its simple and robust construction, became one of the Italian Army’s principal trucks. Its 5.9-litre engine produced up to 95 hp and was paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Developed from the earlier Ro and Ro-Ro trucks, the 3Ro featured a larger, more powerful engine and a significantly improved gearbox. It saw service during the war against Greece, the Balkan campaign and the fighting in North Africa.

The version carrying the 100/17 howitzer was produced in limited numbers and used primarily by Italian forces in North Africa. The howitzer was well regarded for its reliability and effectiveness against fortified positions, infantry and lightly armoured targets. Its open mounting offered little protection for the crew but provided rapid deployment and excellent firing angles. This makes it a particularly interesting model for your collection of Italian WWII vehicles or a North African campaign diorama.
