B into our 1\/35 Military Miniature Series, which means that the main German tanks of WWII are all in our line-up now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Germany had been forbidden to develop tanks after the defeat of WWI, it developed the Panzerkampfwagen I under the name of 'agricultural tractor' to deflect suspicions of rearmament, and the Pz.Kpfw.I became a massproduced tank. The engine on the Ausf.B was upgraded to 100hp, nearly double the 57hp of the Ausf.A. Also, it had a 40cm longer hull, and a pair of 7.92mm MG13 machine guns were equipped. While the Pz.Kpfw.I was developed for training, it first saw live action in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, and was widely used in various situations such as the invasion of Poland and the Eastern Front. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Model \u003cbr\u003e• This is a 1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
