1/35 German Panzer I Ausf.A Sd.Kfz.101

This is the first tank that the new Mechanized Geman Army developed, opening the way for the Blitzkrieg (Lightning War) later. Contrary to the plan, the Panzer I was not only used for training, but also participated in the Poland and North Africa campaign. This is Tristar's first vehicle kit. It was designed by Yoshikatsu Tomioka, the famous AFV kit designer also known for his excellent work on the workable tracks from Modelkasten. The master model of this kit's two tank crew are sculpted by famed diorama builder and figure sculptor Yoshitaka Hirano. This kit is molded in gray plastic and is highly detailed. The tiny but workable track link is manufactured by Modelkasten. Photo-etched brass parts for the exhaust cover are included, too.
