Italeri 6591 Autoblinda AB 41 with Bersaglieri El Alamein 1/35 – Plastic Model Kit

The Italeri 6591 Autoblinda AB 41 with Bersaglieri El Alamein model in 1/35 scale is a finely detailed plastic kit representing the legendary Italian AB 41 armored car, along with realistically recreated Italian infantry figures – the Bersaglieri squad. This product is dedicated to modellers seeking historical accuracy, high-quality details, and an authentic recreation of the North African Front atmosphere during World War II.

Historical Background and Use

The Autoblinda AB 41 is an armored car developed by the Fiat-Ansaldo company for the reconnaissance needs of the Royal Italian Army (Regio Esercito). The AB 41 version, produced from 1941, was based on the original AB 40 but stood out due to its more powerful engine and armament consisting of a 20 mm Breda autocannon and a coaxial machine gun. It featured 4x4 drive and an innovative design with two driver positions (front and rear). The vehicle was intensively used in North Africa, especially during the Battle of El Alamein, supporting reconnaissance and security missions, and later served both Italian and—after 1943—German units. The period of use falls within World War II (years 1941–1945).
