Tamiya 35388 - Panzer I Ausf.B 1/35 Scale Build Kit - Collector Grade  [35388]

Overview of the Tamiya 1/35 Panzer I Ausf.B Kit

The Tamiya 35388 1/35 Panzer I Ausf.B captures the compact profile of Germany's early light tank. The Ausf.B upgraded the original with a longer hull and a more powerful 100hp engine, changes that are reflected in the kit's hull lines and component layout. This release focuses on scale fidelity and assembly clarity.

Where the Panzer I Fitted in History

Originally intended for training and reconnaissance, the Panzer I Ausf.B also saw combat in conflicts like the Spanish Civil War and early WWII campaigns. Tamiya reproduces key items such as the twin 7.92mm MG13 armament and naturalistic track sag to echo field appearance.

Why Modellers Choose This Kit

Attention to detail is evident from the anti-slip fender pattern to the etched exhaust cover. The included commander torso with alternate heads gives display flexibility, so you can present the model in an open-top pose or a stowed configuration.
