Lancia 1ZM "Gina"
Innsbruck, Austria in early 1919

As something of a New Year´s resolution, I decided to try to build some more "enjoyable" kits this year to kepp something of good "modelling-flow". The Lancia 1ZM armored car by Copper State Models in 1/72 falls into that category.
Built on a truck chassis during WW1, the Lancia 1ZM was an Italian armored car with a basic, lightly armored superstructure and a rotating turret armed with several machineguns. For it´s time it was reasonably advanched, but saw little use in that conflict. Afterwards, the vehicles lasted quite some time in Italian service seeing service in WW2. The 1ZM was the main improved 1918 production version of the vehicle.
