1/72 Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. F (VK18.01) Late
The Panzer I, a shortened name from the original Panzerkampfwagen I, whose army identification number was Sd.Kfz. 101, was a light tank of Nazi Germany, designed between 1931 and 1934 and entered service with the Reichswehr, from which the Heer inherited it.
Conceived solely as a training tank (a function it fulfilled admirably), it was instead used in combat until 1942. Easy to produce, fast and maneuverable, but with armor and armament unsuitable for war, it was the first tank mass-produced by German industry. Terminated from front-line service after very heavy losses, it was used for police duties or anti-partisan fighting. The chassis and hull were reused to produce a variety of self-propelled, assault vehicles and command vehicles.
