Review:
“... is priceless for the modeler interested in Italian self-propelled guns. It has a very detailed (full color) walk-around and line drawings for both versions of the Semoventi. Considering the M 41 and M 42 were built on the Italian medium tank chassis, the walk around has value beyond just the Semoventi versions.Highly recommended for modeler and armor enthusiasts.” (IPMS/USA)
"The photography in general is bright and clear enough to be of use as a reference for modelers. Very nice, well composed close ups of various fittings are included. The glossy paper allows for good reproduction of the photos...covers a lot of ground in a modest amount of pages. The really good news, is that the author has done a first rate job of it. The walk around photographs, the scale drawings, the historical photos, and of course all of the text throughout the entire book is very well done. This book would be a very valuable reference to a modeler, or to one just interested in these vehicles. There's a lot of the good stuff packed in between the covers of this book.”" (AMPS)
