Tamiya 1/35 Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf.B

The Tamiya 1/35 Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf.B (HC-35388) brings the early-war German light tank to the renowned Military Miniature Series. Developed under the guise of an "agricultural tractor" after WWI, the Ausf.B variant introduced a 100 hp engine (almost double the Ausf.A’s 57 hp), a hull lengthened by 40 cm, and twin 7.92 mm MG13 machine guns. Although designed for training, the Pz.Kpfw.I saw combat in the Spanish Civil War and was widely employed from the invasion of Poland to the Eastern Front.

This 1/35 plastic model assembly kit faithfully captures the compact, purposeful lines of the Ausf.B thanks to extensive research into the real vehicle. The finished model measures 123 mm in length and 60 mm in width, and includes finely rendered surface textures and details for an authentic appearance.
