Italeri 6547 M32 Recovery Vehicle 1/35

Category: Plastic model kit

The Italeri 6547 M32 Recovery Vehicle model in 1/35 scale is a faithful miniature of the American armored recovery vehicle M32 ARV. Made from high-quality plastic, this kit allows modelers to recreate one of the most distinctive machines supporting Allied armored operations during World War II, the Korean War, and in various armies up until the 1990s.

The M32 ARV was based on the famous M4 Sherman tank chassis and stood out with its lack of turret and the installation of a special superstructure featuring a crane. This vehicle played a key role during the battles in Italy and on the Western Front, allowing for quick repair and evacuation of damaged tanks and other armored vehicles. Equipped with a wide range of tools and spare parts, the M32 served as a "mobile workshop," enabling complicated repairs in frontline conditions, including engine replacement and other engineering tasks. It was mainly used by the United States Army, but many units also found their way into other armies around the world after the war.
