The Dragon 6591 Leichte (Funk) Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A is a precisely reproduced plastic scale model kit of the German light command tank from World War II, made in the popular and collectible 1/35 scale. This model is intended for experienced modelers who want to enrich their collection with a unique and uncommon version of the early tank used by the Wehrmacht from 1934 to 1942.

Historical and Technical Information

The Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A was the first German tank officially used by the Third Reich from the mid-1930s. The Leichte (Funk) version was utilized as a command tank – it featured special radio equipment (Funk), so the turret was removed and replaced by a hull-mounted communication superstructure with antenna masts. Such vehicles are exceptionally rare in model making, making the Dragon 6591 a unique item for command vehicle collectors. Historically, they were used during the September Campaign of 1939, in the battles in France, and in the initial phase of Operation Barbarossa.
