20 Fiat TL.37 were delivered in January 1940 to Bulgarian Royal Army.Divided in 2 batches of 10 vehicles each, they went to both 1. Army Artillery Regiment(Sofia) and 2 Cavalry Artillery Battalion-later 1. Fast Division(Stara Zagora).Another batch was delivered in 1943, unfortunately neither quantites, nor distribution is known.
The Trattore-Leggero-37's were mainly used for towing the 105 mm howitzer Krupp/D30(leFH 16), but evidently they were also used for towing the 75 mm. Schneider-Canet M1904 Field Gun(Schneider PR).Such couple was pictured in April 1941, while crossing Morava river in Jugoslavia.
The prime mover will come from a resin kit by now defunct company Criel Model.The gun will be scratchbuilt to pictures and meassurements I took last week at a memorial in Musina vilage,Veliko Tarnovo county.

Good morning Angel, I am writing to ask you for information on the Fiat TL.37, I would love to do it too but there are few constructive opportunities.
Italian version.
What is this kit like?
Feasible or very difficult?
I am not a modeling champion.
Thank you and goodbye.

Ciao Silvio!
The TL.37 from Criel Model consists of 2 big chunks of resin(body and frame), plus some 30+ small parts(wheels, drive shafts, steering wheel e.t.c.).It was well casted and I found it to be very easy to build.
You should try it too,
HTH,
Cheers,
Angel

Thank you Angel, if I can find it I'll buy it.
Should I also look for the decals or are there also for an Italian version?
Thank you.
Regards.

Silvio, Criel made various versions of this vehicle. The main differences where the wheels. They are difficult to come by. One Russian firm is selling some on E-bay but I would advise caution.
