Semovente da 90/53 - an SP-gun with a powerful 90mm gun (actually a modified AA gun).  It almost looks like a proper tank hunter, despite having almost no armour protection for the crew and only 6 rounds of ammunition.  However it doesn't seem to have seen service before the Sicily campaign (can anyone confirm this?).

The Semovente 90/53 was first used during the defence of Sicily with 24 in use.
They were first produced in 1942 but only 30 were produced that year. The Germans used them following the Italian armistice.

A few Panzer IV D were shipped to North Africa as part of the original deployment in 1941

The Germans also used field modifications a lot with a number of Sd.250 being up gunned with captured Hotchkiss 25mm Anti tank guns.

I like the idea of both the complete upgrade kits including the vehicle and the upgrade spures sold separately to convert other kits from Warlord or the option to purchase other standard vehicles etc.
In my opinion would increase sales from those who wanted to convert other companies vehicles.
