Chinese fighter from Czech – Attack is excited to introduce a truly distinctive 1/72 release: the Tatra 57 Assault Detachment Light Car.

This rare armoured conversion has a story to match: in 1937, Tatra built a special series of 40 purpose-modified vehicles for the Chinese Army. Shipped halfway around the world, these cars went on to see combat service—making them one of the most unusual chapters in Tatra’s pre-war production. After World War II, four badly damaged survivors were returned from China to Kopřivnice for repair; at least one vehicle ultimately remained in the Czech lands and can be seen today in the museum in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem.

Developed from precise 3D references and produced in new metal tooling, this kit is engineered for crisp detail and a smooth, enjoyable build. The Profi boxing is completed with resin-cast wheels, and a dedicated mask set will be available separately.

Tatra 57B in Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine service. Created from accurate 3D data and cut in brand-new metal tooling, it delivers crisp detail while keeping the build straightforward thanks to a smart, builder-friendly parts breakdown.

The Tatra 57B was the improved successor to the proven Tatra 57, with a more powerful engine and a revised driving position reflecting late-1930s design trends. Produced for both civilian and military customers, many cars later entered German service—taken over by the Wehrmacht and/or requisitioned from private owners—making this subject a perfect fit for diorama builders and vehicle enthusiasts alike.

The initial Profi boxing in the new-style packaging comes with three plastic sprues: a sprue packed with fine details, a brand-new sprue with the main components, and a smaller sprue with clear parts. Resin-cast wheels are included to enhance the final look, and a dedicated mask set will be available separately.
