The Tamiya 35369 Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf. E/F is a highly detailed 1:35 scale model kit of the German-used light tank originally developed in Czechoslovakia. This kit faithfully recreates the rugged design, riveted armor and realistic suspension of the historic Pz.Kpfw. 38(t).

Key Features

• 1/35 scale plastic model.
• Detailed riveted armor and realistic road wheels, return rollers, and suspension. 
• Assembly-type tracks with accurate sag to recreate upper run. 
• Commander figure included for the cupola hatch.
• Two marking options for Eastern Front units (1941) included. 
• Engine grille mesh via a finely molded or photo-etched part (depending on version). 

Historical Context

The Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) was originally a Czech design (LT vz. 38) adopted by Germany after the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939. The Ausf. E and F variants featured reinforced armor for better survivability, especially on the Eastern Front during Operation Barbarossa.

Modeling Tips

• Wash all parts in warm soapy water before assembly to remove any mould-release residue.
• Use plastic cement for strong bonds; for the suspension and running gear, sub-assemblies make painting easier.
• Prime in grey or black; recommended Tamiya paints include German Grey (TS-4) and Rubber Black (LP-65). 
• Weather with washes and dry brushing to highlight rivet lines and detail.

Recommended for: intermediate or advanced modellers, WWII armour collectors, diorama creators, and anyone building a German or Czech light tank force.
