Description:

PzKpfw 38(t) AUSF.A
(LT VZ.38)

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a German World War II Pz 38(t) medium tank.

After the  annexation of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany in 1939 they took production of this interesting tank, that were already produced for export market by ČKD but still was not in service of Czechoslovak army. The tank a medium-light late 30s design, was far superior to Pz.I and Pz.II which was the most numerous types in German Army in 1939, and proven to have a high reliability. This kind of tanks saw widespread action in the Poland campaign, France and Soviet Union invasion in 1941, were it was outclassed by soviet tanks and production was halted in 1942, although its chassis still was produced till 1944 as base for the Marder III antitank.
