My obsession with pitiful Panzers continues. This time it's the wholly inadequate Panzer I Auf B. It has everything you want in an early war tank, or rather it doesn't. Armour you can poke a stick through, weapons only really good against soft skinned targets and a crew of two one to drive the beast and one to do everything else. On the plus side they had a reputation for reliability and as long as you kept them away from proper grown up tanks they were a useful recce asset and could work as a mobile pill box.

Still they are quite cute in a strange sort of way and would probably have put the fear of God into the Home Guard if Operation Sealion had actually happened.

Castings are from Heroics & Ros in 1/300th scale so closer to 5mm than 6mm but at 75p per vehicle the price is smaller than average too.
