This is a remix of the 1/200 scale M15/42 from the Bergman files.
The tanks history is noted here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M15/42_tank
For those playing Bolt Action, this tank was fielded not only by the Italians, but by the Germans post 1943 as well as by partisans in Italy and Yugoslavia.
I up-scaled the original to 1/56 - 28mm scale, sliced off the tracks into separate files, removed the full MGs and created a file for them and created a separate turret pivot to ease the turret printing.
Be sure to use supports; I did a test print of the hull without supports and while the fenders came out okay, the under sides were very rough and it made fitting of the tracks difficult. Supports also necessary for the small Hull MGs.
Remember this tank has up to four MGs in Bolt Action, and even has an option in the game for a pintle mount but as I have never found a photo of same, I left that option off.
