.: Bob William's 1/32 Trumpeter Munitions Schlepper

The Panzer I Ausf A, Munitionsschlepper auf, Panzerkampfwagen I, SdKfz 111, Was a converted Panzer I Ausf A, It was used to provide armoured panzer units with an armoured, vehicle for re-supply at the front line. 51 examples were converted from older Panzer I Ausf A, tanks in September 1939. The conversion involved removing the turret and providing a two piece armour plate cover over the resulting opening. This was a rather crude conversion, and used in Poland and France with panzer units. Total weight was a little less than the Panzer I Ausf A at 5.0 tons and height reduced to 1.4 m. Since some fuel capacity was removed, range was cut to 95 km. No armament was provided.
