Historical Background

The Pz.Sfl. Ia (Panzer Selbstfahrlafette Ia), armed with the 5cm Pak 38 anti-tank gun, was an attempt to increase the mobility of anti-tank support on the Eastern Front. Based on the light ammunition carrier (gp. Mun Schlepper), this vehicle was developed in the early 1940s. It was tested and used in combat by German units during WWII, including on the Eastern Front to combat Soviet tanks. Production was limited, making this vehicle a rare and very interesting subject for military model collectors.
