Takom 1/16 PzKpfw I Ausf B Tank Kit
The vaunted ( and justifiably feared ) German Panzerkampfwagen family began with the Panzerkampfwagen I in the early 1930's with the tanks intended mainly as training or at best scout vehicles. Lightly armed, lightly armored and underpowered, these Panzer I tanks were blooded in the Spanish Civil War, and fought on in Hitler's panzer forces until well into late 1941, through the height of the blitzkreig years. Modifications to the early Panzer I Ausf.A were needed, specifically a better engine, which required lengthening the tank's chassis, which also meant an additional road wheel per side would be needed. An improved transmission was also added to what now became the Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. B. These improved tanks were produced between 1936 and 1938, 650 or so were manufactured
