Ze Panzers are coming ….…. New from 20mmZone
Just like the Blitzkrieg, we don’t stop here, its on to Paris for us. Here are the first of “Ze Panzers” in our rapidly expanding 20mmZone ranges. What better place to start but with the Panzer 1 and some of its variants. Panzer I gun tank with twin MG, Panzer 1 Command tank and the Panzer I Sig150 self propelled gun. The PanzerJager on a Panzer I chassis will follow but the master is in need of repair and rebuild, but it will come.
These are 30% the original all metals weight, so cheap to post. The SIG150 is only around 50% the original weight as many of the parts are made in quality white metal from the original Frank Hinchcliffe 150mm Gun model design which is just gorgeous. He made his masters in brass, by hand with exquisite detailing and attention to detail. These are the masters we use to make our new models now.
Panzer I gun tank with twin mg’s. this is truly a rapid build, sub 5 min’s to get it put together so you can spend more time on painting and playing with it, than building it.
You can see how easy and rapid this is to build. 4 parts, that’s it!!!!!
This is our “sprue” , not much on it is there? All kits come in blisters with separate instructions.
Panzer 1 Command tank, comes with a cut down command figure that you can adjust to fit if you want to, hatch open or closed. Again, rapid build design means a sub 5 minute construction time.
Again, rapid and easy to build. Crewman will need to by adjusted to fit if you want to use him, he comes with the kit.
Panzer I Sig150 self propelled gun comes with 2 crewman operating the 150mm gun mounted on the Panzer I chassis. Crew come with out bases so can be added if desired. This kit is a bit more complex and has more parts so its not a 20mmZone rapid build. It took me 1o minutes to build it, but I would be stretching a point to call this rapid build?
These will be available at SELWG but in strictly limited numbers. They will be on the webstore next week.
Ian, Peter and I are on a mission, a Blitzkrieg to get all these lovely models remastered and remoulded and available to all once again but at killer prices and better quality than ever before. No prises for which Panzer is coming next Gentlemen?
This is our 5th, 6th and 7th release this week and we have not even scratched the surface yet of all the goodies we have yet to bring back to market. Achtung Panzer!
As always you can see more comment and pictures on the EWM facebook site.

We will confirm once we have discussed later this week. These prices mean they are still way below the old Skytrex price and we think the quality of the models is now far superior.
As always, Ian and I look forward to your comments,
