Tamiya 1/35 Panzer 1b Model Kit

The Panzer I was Germany's first mass-produced tank, originally intended as a training vehicle but pressed into frontline combat due to rearmament urgency. The Ausf.B variant featured a longer hull, improved Maybach NL38 engine, and five road wheels per side. Armed only with twin MG13 machine guns, it was hopelessly outgunned but saw action in Spain, Poland, France, North Africa, and the Eastern Front. Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures this historically significant little tank with detailed running gear and turret interior.
