New kit of a Panzer I Ausf. A modified with Breda machine gun from Ammo.

After the first action of the Panzer I in the Spanish Civil War, during the attacks on Madrid where they were deployed to support of the national infantry, it was clear that the design lacked the power, crew protection, and firepower to the fight against the infantry.

Despite German opposition, the solution was to install the Italian machine gun Breda 20mm in the same turret in a configuration similar to the Panzer II. Testing was carried out on four vehicles removed from the front, where the turrets would be modified to accommodate the fierce weapon.
