The IBG 72097 model represents the Italian truck 3Ro Italian Truck 90/53 Ammunition Carrier in the popular 1/72 scale. This is an extremely detailed plastic scale model kit, designed by the renowned IBG company, which faithfully recreates the vehicle used by the Italian army during World War II. The model is intended both for collectors of historic military vehicles and for modeling enthusiasts seeking interesting vehicle designs from the 1940s.

History and use

The original Fiat 3Ro truck was produced between 1938 and 1947, playing a key role as a logistics vehicle in the Italian army. The 90/53 Ammunition Carrier version was developed specifically for transporting ammunition for mobile anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns, the 90/53, which were Italy's answer to the German Flak 88. These trucks were mainly used on the North African and Italian fronts during World War II, contributing to the efficient servicing and supply of artillery batteries.
