Howdy All,

Was wondering if anyone knew of a kit of this rather imaginative armoured offering?

There was talk a while ago of a 1/72 scale resin model in the works, but I've heard nothing since...


Here's the announcement from the Landships News page (http://www.landships.freeservers.com/news.htm):


Mr Panzer... hopes to issue two new WW1 kits during 2005. Firstly, the Armoured Car Lanzia 1ZM, and secondly ... wait for it ... the FIAT 2000, the first Italian Tank, and a sweet-heart of this site! And the one doing the masters will be none other than Master Modeller Gabriele Zenoni, who once started DA.GA.


I sincerely hope it does appear, mastered by Gabriele, as his models are absolutely superb (I had toyed with making it myself, but I shan't bother if Gabriele's working on it).

I have never seen a kit, but Giuseppe Iulianos scratch built an awesome model of this a few years ago, in 1/35 scale. The only thing wrong with it, is he used A7V tracks. But other than that its awesome!!!!!!!


Here is the link to picture of his model on LANDSHIPS.

I forgot to post this when I found it a couple of weeks ago, glad you reminded me Tim - another site with even more photos of Giuseppe's model!

I did a 1/32 scratch built model many years ago, actually won a few prizes at various British Model Soldier competitions. When I get back home at the weekend I'll photo it and post.

Fantastic! Yes, photograph it! I think I speak for quite a few people when I say I want to see it!

"doing the masters will be..." would indicate that both models were planned to be made by Gabriele Zenoni, but I want to point out that the Lancia now on the market was made by Henk Timmermans. He did a fine job too, I must say!
