Does anyone know if the Panzer I model by Empress Miniatures is primarily of metal or plastic construction?

You wouldn't happen to know how many pieces it comes in would you?

I got one of those when they were sold by Anglian Miniatures - it is a very straightforward kit. The hull, IIRC, is a single piece, to which you add the running gear (with extra outer bars). The turret consists of a single piece with separate MGs and a commander's hatch. Some of the detail parts (headlight etc.) are separate. All in all, I think it cannot be more than a dozen parts, and it assembles well, although I recommend being careful and going slow with the running gear, as it is very well sculpted and finely-cast - the track *might* snap if you put too much pressure on it the wrong way. Dry-fit first, sand or file the plugs a little bit if necessary, then glue.

It is a wonderful kit, and if you are careful during the assembly, not difficult to assemble.
