Auttocaretta OM 36 P I Tipo in 1/72 scale
The resin part of the car
body is cast very rough, without details and include small
bubbles. Therefore its surface has to be cleaned. The seats
placed in the body are unfortunately little crooked. The
quality of other resin parts is much better. Nevertheless some
of these parts include little flash and the steering wheel is
covered with resin film. Enclosed photo-etched brasses
compensate all defects of resin parts. There are included two
etched brass sheets including many details. This kit is the one of the result of my kit swap with my Italian friend
Lorenzo Tonioli.

General Impression
This kit of passenger version of
Italian universal vehicle Autocaretta offers chance to build very
interesting detail rare model of the vehicle designed for use in the
mountains. The assembly will take more work and therefore I recommend it
to skilled modellers only.
Note
Unfortunately
I have no many references for use of this version but I expect these
vehicles were used during invasion to Ethiopia as well as early period of
WW2 (Albania, Greece)..
