Carro Pesante P43 Prototipo

Ww2 real italian project

That just looks so Italian.

Looks like an M13/40 turret on an enlarged hull ? But what calibre is that gun ?

It is basically the P 40 tank, I modified the hull by lengthening the rear part, added sloped plates and modified the turret with a 75 mm gun.

Another excellent piece of work!   

Another great camo job!   

Mind you, the strain on the traverse & elevation gears with that long barrel ...

I imagine. Keep in mind that it was a prototype based on the German Schmalturm, of equal length

Yes, but the Germans had a (bad?) habit of pushing their technology & engineering to the edge of breaking point, then wondering why it broke.

While reusing old, not so great, and often already overstressed, mechanisms and components
with ever heavier and more complicated designs. 
"It goes to 11".
