SKU: HB80138 | Brand: HobbyBoss | Product: HobbyBoss 1/35 German Pz.Kpfw. / Pz.BfWg 38(t) Ausf. B Plastic Model Kit [80138] The Pz.Kpfw 38(t) entered Wehrmacht service in May 1939, with 150 Ausf.A tanks completed by November that year. These Czech-designed vehicles served with German, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovakian, and Bulgarian forces during WWII's opening phase, and were exported to Sweden, Switzerland, Peru, Iran, and other nations. The platform earned distinction for its speed, armor protection, and mechanical reliability, establishing itself as the finest light tank of the war's initial period. The Ausf.G represented the final evolution, incorporating 50mm armor plate across all frontal surfaces with extensive welded construction throughout. This variant saw primary deployment in Russia, with various 38(t) models supplied to German allies. The Pz.BfWg 38(t) command version retained the standard Praga chassis configuration while incorporating an Fu 8 radio station in place of the hull machine gun, with a frame antenna mounted above the engine compartment. Wehrmacht panzer divisions typically fielded 7–10 Praga command tanks per unit, with 300 PzBfWg variants produced in total. Specifications: - Total Sprues: 12 sprues - Photo Etched Parts: 1 sheet
