1/144 Pz.Kpfw I Ausf.F & Wespe - Panzer Depot

1/144 Pz.Kpfw I Ausf.F & Wespe - Panzer Depot
Panzer Depot has not one but two releases for you this week!

The unusual, but real Pz.Kpfw I Ausf.F variant, a surprisingly late development of the Panzer I concept, to provide fire support for infantry. Surprisingly, it did achieve operation status initially on the Eastern Front with the 1st Panzer Division, and latterly in the Balkans.

It had a crew of two, two MG34 7.62mm and a top speed of 25 km/h approximately 30 were built.

The Sd.Kfz 124 "Wespe" is more familier item, based upon the Pz.Kpfw II chassis that had become outmoded as a tank. The original chassis had the turrets removed and were modified to mount the 10.5 cm leFH 18
