Tamiya 35292 1/35 German Panzer II Ausf. A/B/C - Special edition scale model  [35292]

Historic Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. A/B/C in 1/35 scale by Tamiya

The Panzer II was influential in the early phases of World War II. Developed under restrictions after World War I, it was based on the Panzer I hull but fitted with a 2 cm main gun for improved firepower. Production began in 1937 and by April 1940 a total of 1088 had been built. These tanks led operations in Poland and France and were later redeployed for reconnaissance as the war evolved.

What to expect in the kit

Tamiya's 1/35 rendition captures the Ausf. A, B and C with faithful detailing. The kit supplies supplemental armour plates that can be fitted as on the original vehicle, separate moulded hatches and panels for variant accuracy, and single-piece track sections for simpler assembly. Included is a commander figure and three French Campaign marking options.

Scene making and kit companions

This kit sits well in period displays alongside models like the French Battle Tank B1 bis or the German 3 Ton 4x2 Cargo Truck. Supplementing the build with the German Infantry Set (French Campaign) will help populate battlefield scenes convincingly.
