This is a unique offer for history enthusiasts, collectors and fans of brick constructions who want to build with their own hands machines that played an important role on the historical war fronts. With this set, you can decide which version you will build. Will it be the original Czechoslovak design or the German adaptation used in the September and French campaigns? From Czech engineering to German weaponry! In 1935, the Czechoslovak ČKD factory began work on a new light tank. The result of this work was the LT vz. 38, a modern, reliable and well-armored vehicle for its time. Although created for the Czechoslovak army, after the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Third Reich the project was taken over by the Germans. Thus was born the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), a light tank that quickly gained recognition in the Wehrmacht. The Ausf. A version participated in the September (1939) and French (1940) campaigns, distinguishing itself with its effectiveness and reliability, 3.7 cm caliber gun and riveted construction. The armor and excellent driving characteristics made the vehicle superior to many German light tanks of that time. Although production ended in 1942, the chassis of this design became the basis for many other vehicles, from Hetzer and Marder tank destroyers to self-propelled guns. This set is two faces of one machine! One box, two stories, endless building fun!
