1/35 German 38(t) Ausf.B

The Pz.38(t) was originally a Czech LTvz38 tank pressed into service on the German side, after Czechoslovakia's "amalgamation" into the Reich. Its basic design was sound and it performed well in battle, going a long way towards addressing the critical shortage of tanks among the German Panzer Divisions.

Tristar's latest release in their 38(t) series is again a superb product! This Ausf.B/Panzerbefehlswagen Ausf. B Command Tank kit succeeds in capturing the crispness of this light tank's riveted construction. Small parts are molded very sharply. The hull and turret are divided into many flat armor panels almost matching perfectly the construction of the actual tank. But don't worry, the fit of the parts is superb. The vision port cover has fine detail on its backside and the glass vision blocks are molded in transparent plastic. The turret has a detailed gun breech, including the control mechanism and coaxial MG, as well as the crew seats on the turret ring. Tracks are separate links, made of injection plastic, and snap together easily. Tires are molded separately from the wheels. Brass photo-etched parts are plentiful, too. No figures are included. Markings are for one command vehicle and three other vehicles. Add this variation to your 38(t) collection today!
