The Tamiya 35369 model captures the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf. E/F, a vehicle that began as a Czech design and was taken into German service after Czechoslovakia was annexed in 1939. The light tank featured a mix of riveted and welded armour and mounted a 3.7 cm gun, seeing action in early 1940s offensives before receiving extra armour for campaigns such as Barbarossa.
Rendered at 1/35 scale, this Ausf. E/F kit emphasises the tank's profile and surface details. Tamiya's precision moulding ensures parts align well, making it a rewarding build for hobbyists focused on accuracy and display quality.
To match period finishes, Tamiya lists TS-4 German Grey and LP-27 German Gray among compatible colours. Using Tamiya metal primer and their precision cement helps with assembly, while panel line accent colours and weathering sets are useful for adding realistic ageing and operational grime.
