About the Tamiya 1/35 Panzer I Ausf.B Assembly Kit

The Tamiya 35388 1/35 Panzer I Ausf.B kit reconstructs the compact German light tank with attention to the Ausf.B changes, including the longer hull and a 100hp engine upgrade. This kit targets modellers wanting a compact, historically accurate subject with crisp moulding and detailed accessories.

Combat Use and Early War Service

The Panzer I Ausf.B performed training roles and saw combat in conflicts ranging from the Spanish Civil War to campaigns in Poland and on the Eastern Front. Tamiya models details such as the twin 7.92mm MG13 guns and the track profile to represent its period appearance.

Model Features and Display Options

Fine detailing like the anti-slip patterns on one-piece fenders and a well-detailed photo-etched exhaust cover enhance realism. The included commander torso with optional headgear gives a choice of display poses to suit a shelf or diorama setting.

Replacing plastic gun barrels with metal ones improves scale appearance and sharpness, but the kit's original barrels are acceptable if you prefer to keep stock parts.
Apply light washes, dry brushing and subtle chipping to reproduce battlefield wear. Focus on edges, tool mounts and the exhaust area for convincing ageing.
Yes. Its scale and detail make it a good candidate for compact dioramas depicting training grounds or early-war operations; add figures and accessories to complete the scene.
