CV 3/33 availability
« on: April 29, 2009, 10:14:04 AM »
Hello there. Sorry if this has been done to death, I don't usually keep up on WWII and interwar stuff, but I have recently acquired a sudden urge for a new mini-project.

So, does anybody make an Italian CV 3/33 (L3/33), or L3 Lf tankette, or anything of that nature somewhere near compatible with 28mm? A quick browse of the usual suspects came up with nothing, but I'm not sure where to look really.

Chieftain used to do them, and they are, AFAIK, still available via Anglian Miniatures. I?ve got two of them. Lovely little critters:



Granted, it?s a 3/35, but I think you can build a 33 as well from the kit.

Thanks, Chris. That's great news. The not so great news is that it's currently listed as "being remastered", so it looks like I'm going to have to be patient.








I'm not good at that.








Are we nearly there yet?

Army Group North has L3/35 and L3 (is that close enough?):

Right. I was in the middle of replying to this post when we were so rudely interrupted. Where was I? Ah yes...

Thanks, Will. Yes, those are just as good for my purposes. All three of those tankette types saw service in the theatre I want them for, and I'm not all that fussy which exact model I have. That flamethrower one is very tempting.

Grrr. In the LAF downtime I already ordered some of those Army Group North ones Will linked to. If for some reason they don't come I'll take you up on that Svennn, thanks.

Well you're welcome to it either way. I have had it over a year and it has sat on the shelf looking at me everytime I sit down to paint and thats the way it will stay. Cant even remember what prompted the purchase in the first place.

OK

What model do you require. CV3/33 or CV3/35?
They are different in very subtle ways.
I have a completed CV3/35 tankette going off to the casters in the morning, it will be complete with two crew. and its a very nice little model.

I will back date the master to the CV3/33. and do a couple of flamethrower variations too.

Helen beat me to the punch:) The FOA CV35 and CV35/f are very nice pieces indeed. I've got one of them for supporting my Anglian CTV. Wouldn't mind picking up a few more.

Well thanks, chaps. I've certainly got lots of options if those ones I ordered don't arrive, or if I decide I don't like them.  :)

Kind of wish I'd waited for the Anglian ones now that I know they'll come with crew. But I had that "I want it now!" feeling. CV3/33, CV3/35, I ain't fussy, as I already said. Got a bit of a hankering for the flamethrower version, though. Maybe I'll get some more!
