Tamiya 35292 - 1/35 German Panzerkampfwagen - II Ausf. A/B/C (Sd.Kfz.121) (FRENCH CAMPAIGN)  [35292]

Tamiya 1/35 German Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. A/B/C (French Campaign)

The German Panzerkampfwagen II played a pivotal role in the early stages of World War II. Developed under a veil of secrecy following World War I, this tank was integral to Germany's military strategy. The Panzer II was initially built using the hull of its predecessor, the Panzer I, but was equipped with a more powerful 2cm main gun. Production began in 1937, and by April 1940, 1088 units had been manufactured. These tanks spearheaded the invasion of Poland and were crucial during the attack on France. Even as the war progressed, the Panzer II remained effective in reconnaissance roles.

Model Features and Build Experience

This 1/35 scale model by Tamiya offers an authentic representation of the Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. A/B/C. The kit includes supplemental armor plate parts that can be installed just like on the real vehicle. Separate molding for various hatches and armor panels ensures accurate recreation of the different tank variants. The assembly-type tracks feature single-piece sections, simplifying the construction process. Additionally, the kit comes with a commander figure and offers three marking options specific to the French campaign.

Display and Diorama Potential

For those looking to create dynamic dioramas, this model pairs well with other vehicles from the same era, such as the French Battle Tank B1 bis and the German 3 Ton 4x2 Cargo Truck. Adding the new German Infantry Set (French Campaign) can further enhance the realism of your WWII battlefield scene.
