CSM 1/72 Lancia 1ZM Autoblinda

[ColonelKrypton]

This is another recently completed build this time of the Copper State Models (CSM) 1/72 scale Lancia 1ZM Autoblinda which loosely translates to Lancia 1ZM Armoured Car.

Designed during the Great War and built by Ansaldo on a Lancia truck chassis and saw service in the Great War, the interwar period and limited use during the Second World War.

The scale is 1/72, sometimes referred to as "Braille Scale" but I like to call military vehicles in this small scale "Wee Warriors".  For an idea of size, the wooden disk the model is displayed on is 4 inches in diameter.  "Lampo" translates to "Lightning"

Cheers, Graham

Nice job, Graham.  Very well done in such a small scale.

I love this!  Wish it came a little larger.

It does, but the largest is 1/35 scale:

CSM has a good selection of 1/35 Great War period armoured cars.

This one is particularly eye catching:

But all are 1/35 scale. These armoured cars where often built on truck chassis so are reasonably large.
