Hobby Boss 80145 German Panzer 1 Ausf. A Sd.Kfz.101 (Early/Late Version) 1/35

The Hobby Boss 80145 plastic model kit depicts the German light tank Panzer I Ausf. A Sd.Kfz.101 in 1/35 scale, offering the option to build either the early or late version of this vehicle. This model is dedicated to historical modeling enthusiasts and all lovers of World War II military equipment, seeking a faithfully reproduced and highly detailed representation of the tank that launched the might of the German armored forces.

The Panzer I Ausf. A was the first mass-produced light tank of the Third Reich, developed by Germany in the 1930s. Its combat debut took place during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), and it was later widely used in the early campaigns of World War II, including the September Campaign in Poland (1939), the invasion of France (1940), and on the Eastern Front. Although its armor and armament quickly became outdated against newer enemy designs, the Panzer I played a key role in crew training and served as the foundation for the development of subsequent generations of German tanks.

The set is made from high-quality plastic with precise surface detailing—characteristic rivets, track details, and accurate running gear are all rendered to a high standard, typical of Hobby Boss products. The kit includes parts allowing for the construction of both the Early and Late versions of the Panzer I Ausf. A, enhancing its appeal to collectors and historians. The model contains no resin or metal parts; all details (such as MG 13 machine gun barrels, track links, turret, hatches) are manufactured using plastic injection molding. The included decals allow for the recreation of various historical paint schemes and markings.
