Italian Breda 40 Heavy Tractor and French AGR truck – out now The 20mmZone are pleased to release the Italian Breda 40 heavy equipment tractor and the French AGR truck with rear tilt. Both are all metal kits and come with a driver figure for the cab. Both kits are "rapid build" i.e. minimal parts and will take sub 15 minutes to build. The Breda saw common use as a tow for big guns in Italian service including the German 88mm ATG. Kit costs £8.50 GBP The French AGR saw extensive service with the French army and then under "new management" with the German army during the early years of Blitzkrieg in Russia and other fronts. Can be built with or without the rear tilt. Kit costs £10.50 GBP. You can see more pictures and comments at our face book site at : link These are available now on the EWM/20mmzone Web store at : link Our next show is Broadside in Kent early June. Look forward to seeing you there. Thanks for your interest, and as always, Ian and I look forward to your comments. Paul and Ian @20mmZone/Shell Hole Scenic's/EWM

That Renault is a thing of beauty. Now if someone will make one available in 15mm.

Very nice. I use to have a couple of the old Skytrex ones, nice chunky models of a relatively unglamorous workhorse.

I have three of the Skytrex AGRs, and they are indeed impressive, but being cast in metal, weigh a few thousand stone compared to my assorted plastic and resin kits… Nice to see them back into production. Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net

I know the big wheels were to negotiate desert sand, but the Breda tractor always looks like a cartoon truck! I really need to get some, if only for comic relief …

Battlefront made a Renault before they went big time about 10-12 years ago. Wish they would bring some French trucks (not Laffleys) out.
