With this set, you have the opportunity to build a model of one of the heroes of those events and add it to your collection! In 1940, during the short German-French campaign, thanks to the Blitzkrieg strategy – lightning warfare – German troops broke through Allied defenses with unprecedented speed and precision. The key role German armored divisions played a key role, using massive tank attacks, air support, and modern radio communications to advance through the difficult-to-reach Ardennes and surprise the French armed forces. Among the tanks used in this campaign was the Panzerkampfwagen I, a light tank that, although no longer modern, still constituted a crucial element of German military doctrine. The Panzer I was the first mass-produced German tank after World War I. Its design began in 1932, and the first units rolled off the production line in 1934. It quickly found its way to the battlefield, fighting in Spain during the Civil War, in the September Campaign in Poland, in France, as well as in North Africa and on the Eastern Front. The tank was lightly armoured and armed with only two machine guns, making it unsuitable for engagements with modern enemy tanks. However, thanks to well-thought-out tactics, and thanks to its combat capabilities and effective cooperation with other units, the Panzer I was used effectively despite its limitations. With this set, you can build one of the earliest German tanks of World War II – the Panzerkampfwagen I from the 1940 French campaign. This 1:28 scale set reproduces the tank with extraordinary accuracy, maintaining authentic proportions and details.
