Hobby Boss 82603 Pzkpfw 38(t) Ausf.E/F 1:16

The Pzkpfw 38(t) was a tank used by Germany during World War II. It was developed in the late 1930s and saw widespread use in the early years of the war, particularly in the invasion of Poland and the Western Front.

 

The Pzkpfw 38(t) was a small, light tank that was designed to be fast and agile but was also relatively lightly armed and armored. It was powered by a Praga EPA 6-cylinder engine and had a top speed of around 40 km/h (25 mph). The tank was armed with a 37 mm gun and two 7.92 mm machine guns and had armor ranging from 8 to 40 mm thick.

 

There were several versions of the Pzkpfw 38(t), including the Ausf. E and Ausf. F, which were produced in 1939 and 1940. The Ausf. E featured several improvements over the earlier Ausf. A, including a more powerful engine and thicker armor. The Ausf. F featured extra armor and a modified turret design.

 

The Pzkpfw 38(t) was used by several countries during the war, including Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia. It was replaced by newer, more powerful tanks as the war progressed, and was phased out of service. Despite its limitations, the Pzkpfw 38(t) was considered a reliable and effective tank during its service.
