The standard of excellence achieved by Tamiya is regarded as among the very finest in the world of model hobbies. After WWI, Germany pushed forward the development of battle tanks under a blanket of secrecy. The Panzerkampfwagen II used the Panzerkampfwagen I's hull and came armed with a 2 cm main gun. Mass production of the Ausf. A began in 1937 and various improvements including a new suspension led to the Ausf. C. Until the end of production in April 1940, 1088 Panzer II tanks were manufactured. They led the surprise invasion on Poland and were the main tanks used in the attack on France. Later, they were successfully used in reconnaissance missions until the end of the war. Kit features: supplemental armor plate parts can be installed in the same manner as the actual tank; various hatches throughout the tank are separately-molded, and armor panels are included to accurately recreate the different variants; assembly-type tracks feature single-piece sections for effortless construction; and comes with a commander figure and three kinds of markings for the French campaign. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting.
