Those photos don't do them justice. The L3 is tiny, like an armoured MG Midget. Very brave men indeed to go to war in one

Part of the reason was that they rearmed earlier than other country's, oopsI had read the Italian tanks were thinly armoured and very vulnerable to A/T or artillery. Looking at those photos, you can clearly see that. Musso went to war without the development capability to build modern weapons, nor the industrial capability to build them in sufficient volume.

There (very) old Airfix books had plans to scratch build that vehicle.Not everything the Italians fielded was pants of course . The SPA-Viberti AS42 was an extremely capable desert vehicle, crewed by excellent troops.
