The model depicts the early hull variant of the Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. A tank, designated as ohne Aufbau (without superstructure, turret, or armament). Developed under the cover of the official name Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper (agricultural tractor), this vehicle was used for training purposes and was never deployed in combat. It allowed selected German companies to gain experience in producing tracked chassis, and soldiers of the first two armored regiments – Kraftfahrlehrkommando Zossen and Ohrdruf – to learn to operate a fully tracked armored vehicle. Only 15 units were produced, and military training began in the spring of 1934.

The Hobby Boss 80144 kit features detailed replication of the hull and suspension, realistic details, and high-quality workmanship of the parts. Thanks to the precise parts breakdown and clear assembly instructions, the set is a great choice both for intermediate modelers and collectors interested in the history of interwar armored vehicles.

• Extras and accessories: the kit does not include metal or resin parts, all components are made of sturdy plastic
• Difficulty level: 2/5 – moderately easy to assemble

We recommend the Hobby Boss 80144 German Pz.Kpfw.1 Ausf. A ohne Aufbau 1/35 to enthusiasts of German armored vehicles, training-themed modelers, and those building 1930s dioramas. This unique training vehicle will enrich any military model collection – both as a rare exhibit and as part of larger historical scenes!
