Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf B
The Ausf B was an upgrade of the Ausf A with its introduction to Panzer units beginning in 1935. The Ausf B included the Maybach NL 38TR engin as the origional engine of the Panzer I Ausf A was found to be underpowered, along with the new engine came a new transmission (ZF Aphon FG 31) which required that the hull of the Panzer I Ausf B be lengthened to acomodate the two upgrades (adding a little over 1ft extra length).
Like the Panzer I Ausf A this model was phased out of service in 1941 where it was directed back to its origional purpose as a training vehicle. While some were remanufactured to live a second life as a tank hunter or Munitions-Schleppers.
