R1b Light Tank

A nice little kit of the Romanian R1b Light Tank based on the Czechoslovakian Praga AH-IV Tankette. The AH-IV was designed to replace the vz.33 tankette. The AH-IV was given a turret for better all round field of fire and the AH-IV was armed with a 7.92mm ZB vz35 or vz37 heavy machine gun. The tankette had a crew of 2 and served with Romania, Sweden and Iran during WWII. The Romanians were sold 36 AH-IV-R on 14 August 1936. The R1b was a Romanian design under license used during Barbarossa.
