I bought this from Mighty Lancer today.
As you know, I model whatever takes my fancy.
I have always liked the smaller German tanks and have modelled a few in the past.
I could not find a Panzer 1 and so decided on this.
This is an up-armoured version of the reconnaissance tank.
It had heavier armour and weighed 18 tons.
22 were produced by MAN between April and December 1942.
7 were issued to the 12th Panzer Division on the Eastern Front.
The tank had a crew of 3.
One was found converted to a recovery vehicle.
First impressions are good, a small etched fret and the parts seem nicely moulded.
