Historical Context

The Panzerjager I was the first mass-produced German tank destroyer of World War II, used by the Wehrmacht in the early years of the conflict (Period: World War II, 1940–1943). The vehicle was based on the chassis of the light Panzer I tank, with its turret replaced by a Czechoslovak 4.7 cm PaK(t) anti-tank gun. The Panzerjager I participated, among others, in the French campaign in 1940, in battles in North Africa, and on the Eastern Front. Early versions of this vehicle featured characteristic, straight armor plates protecting the fighting compartment crew, which are accurately reproduced by this set of photo-etched parts.
