1:35 Fiat 508 CM with Crew - 6550 Iltaleri

The Fiat 508CM is an Italian light military commercial vehicle from the interwar period and World War II. The vehicle's weight was 890 kg, the length was 3,615 m and the width was no more than 1.5 m. In turn, the height was 1.9 m. with the roof unfolded. The drive was provided by a single-cylinder, 4-cylinder Fiat 108 engine with a power of up to 30 HP. The maximum speed was up to 95 km / h. The presented vehicle was developed on the basis of a city car of the Fiat group designated as the "Fiat 508". Its military versions - initially C and later also CM - were developed in 1937-1939. The CM version differed from the civilian version mainly in the changed shape of the body and the reinforced suspension. The drive was also provided by an engine with a higher maximum power. The CM version was introduced in 1938 and entered mass production shortly afterwards, which continued until the end of the war. It is said to have been one of the most widely used vehicles of this class in the Italian Regio Esercito during World War II. It is worth noting that a special version of the 508 CM Coloniale was also built, which was intended for use in East and North Africa. The car in this version had a larger fuel tank capacity, had factory-fitted tires adapted for driving on sand, but was also longer (by about 40 cm) and significantly heavier than the standard version.
