Tamiya 32570 1/48 Scale Panzer II A/B/C - Historical Build Kit  [32570]

1/48 Panzer II A/B/C scale model by Tamiya

The Tamiya 1/48 Panzer II A/B/C kit offers a faithful small-scale recreation of the light tank used during the French Campaign. It gives modellers clear options to represent the common field modifications and the vehicle profile seen in early wartime engagements.

Operational context and model accuracy

The Panzer II was driven by a 140hp engine and could achieve speeds near 40 km/h. In the French Campaign crews often added extra frontal armor to improve survivability; the kit includes parts to depict these real-world changes accurately.

Construction details and presentation

Modellers can assemble the Ausf.A, B or C variants and choose to mount smoke dischargers. The included chassis weights produce a realistic heft and the link-style tracks allow natural sagging for a convincing display finish.
