The FPW Model 72019 depicts the German Sturmpanzer I 15cm sIG 33 (Sf) auf Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. B in a precise 1/72 scale. This is a unique and rarely seen armored vehicle from World War II, used by the German army primarily during the French campaign in 1940 and on the Eastern Front.

Historical context: The Sturmpanzer I 15cm sIG 33 (Sf) auf Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. B was developed as an attempt to increase the mobility of the heavy 150 mm sIG 33 infantry mortar by mounting it on the chassis of the light Panzer I tank. Although this solution was a compromise due to the heavy burden on the chassis (only 38 units were built), it allowed the Germans to support assault troops during urban and positional combat, providing them with mobile fire support. These vehicles served, among other places, during the siege of Sevastopol and in France (World War II, 1940-1943).
