Models of the AS.42 as it appears in War Thunder.

Here's my birthday release (a few hours late). I will add the red police skin at a later date and will experiment on possibility of making the Sahariana model. Until then, have fun.

Fully rigged, use a model tool to tamper with moving parts.

Camionetta Desertica AS.42 II Metropolitana without turret (normal, skybox)

Camionetta Desertica AS.42

A light recon car, built on the chassis of the AB.40 armored car, for the italian army recon units. The AS.42, dubbed the "Sahariana", used the AB.40 chassis, but with a boat hull and a simplified 2x4 transmission. Capable of carrying multiple soldiers, weapon and ammunition, it was used successfully both in North Africa and in Italy. The second model of the vehicle, dubbed the "Metropolitana", replaced some of the jerrycan containers with ammunition boxes and was equipped with land tires instead of desert ones. Both variants were used throughout the war by both the italian and german armies and even after the war by the italian police, as late as 1954.
