Tamiya 32570 - 1/48 Scale German Panzer II A/B/C - French Campaign  [32570]

German Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf.A/B/C (Sd.Kfz.121) (French Campaign)

Palm-Top Blitzer

The Panzer II Ausf.A/B/C variants had been the mainstay tanks the German Panzer Divisions through Blitzkreig operations of early-WWII. These were compact (4.8m very long, 2.2m wide) tanks loaded with a 140hp gas motor, which enabled a maximum price of 40km/h. Although they certainly were carefully armed with only a 2cm primary weapon and a 7.92mm unit tool as well as their front armor was indeed just 15mm dense, they provided valiant solution through Polish and French promotions as soon as the German Army had a shortage about the more capable Panzer III tanks. In particular, many Panzer IIs which saw combat in France was in fact modified with additional front armor plating.
