About product

Hobby Boss 1:16 Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) Ausf. E/F

A kit of the light 38(t) tank in the Ausf. E/F version in 1:16 scale. This is one of the largest scales for models of vehicles and suits builders who want a model as a display piece rather than as part of a collection. Larger parts mean more comfortable work with detail, but at the same time they make greater demands on the cleanliness of the surface and on the painting — at this size every imperfection is clearly visible.

The real subject

The subject is a light tank developed in Czechoslovakia at the end of the 1930s, which after 1939 entered German service under the designation Pz.Kpfw. 38(t). Characteristic features are the riveted construction of the hull and turret, leaf-spring suspension with large road wheels, and a main armament of 37 mm caliber supplemented by machine guns. The Ausf. E and F versions were among the later production variants with thicker armor; they are so close in design that model manufacturers commonly treat them as a single variant. The chassis of this design later became the basis for a range of other vehicles.

Building and painting tips

  • Paint the running gear and the inner faces of the fenders before you close them up — after that you cannot get in there.
  • The riveted surfaces are the main feature of the subject, so take care not to sand the rivets away when you sand the parting seams.
  • Spray large surfaces with an airbrush in thin layers and shade the color, so that the model does not read as flat.
  • For weathering, a dark wash in the recesses and pigments for mud and dust effects around the running gear work well.
  • A model of this size deserves a firm base; small external parts snap off easily during handling.

Who the model is for

  • For modelers who want a large display model of a vehicle.
  • For anyone interested in vehicles of Czechoslovak design.
  • For builders who enjoy working with weathering on large surfaces.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Check the particular dimensions on the box. The 1:16 scale is among the largest commonly built scales for vehicles, so expect a markedly bigger model than in the usual 1:35.

Check the contents of the package on the box and in the instructions.

They are later production variants with thicker armor, very close in design. That is exactly why model manufacturers commonly treat them together as a single variant.

Large parts go together comfortably, but painting and weathering large surfaces call for practice. For a first model of a vehicle a smaller scale is more suitable.
